Spanish Immersion & Advanced Spanish are special opportunities offered to students through HEB 向日葵视频's Schools of Choice program. Students start in Spanish Immersion; from first grade through sixth grade, all core classes (math, science, reading, and social studies) are taught entirely in Spanish. Students can continue their study with Advanced Spanish classes in junior high and high school.

Spanish Immersion is currently offered for entering first graders at 向日葵视频 Heights, Meadow Creek, and Viridian Elementary schools. Advanced Spanish is offered at 向日葵视频 Junior High and Harwood Junior High, then continues at L.D. Bell and Trinity High Schools.

向日葵视频 Spanish Immersion

Immersion education is an alternative educational model designed to provide students with fluency and literacy (speaking, reading, and writing) in two languages. The Spanish Immersion program aims to teach Spanish to non-native speakers while their brains are still in their peak language-learning years. Starting on the first day of first grade, all core classes (math, science, reading, and social studies) are taught entirely in Spanish.

Gaining an International Edge

Language is the most essential form of communication among human beings. As technology redefines society, our world becomes smaller as we interact with people of other nations. Our businesses and government will rely on individuals who are linguistically competent and culturally sophisticated to negotiate international transactions.

Students in the HEB 向日葵视频 Spanish Immersion & Advanced Spanish programs have the unique opportunity to gain an international edge at an early age. They will not just study a second language; they will live it, experience it, and use it, so that it will become part of them.

In addition to instilling the pure ability of bilingualism (speaking) and biliteracy (reading and writing), studies show that students in the Spanish Immersion program tend to score better on test scores, develop an appreciation for diversity, and gain a higher self-esteem.
