From the Immersion Director
Are there any students who should not be in an immersion program?
As we are in the middle of enrollment time, this is a question I hear from prospective parents and it is one to which we try to send a clear and unified response. There are no prerequisites or limiting factors as families consider immersion; all students can benefit from an immersion program and research shows us that children will perform at a similar level regardless of the language of instruction. So if you encounter other parents who are considering immersion for their child, you can also join us in saying that immersion is an option for all children.
