Increasing enrollment with global perspective...
With immersion, world language instruction is NOT an “extra” expense like with FLES or FLEX programs, similar to specials (Art, Music, or PE).
Instead, immersion educators at each grade level take on the role of both classroom teacher and world language instructor. After initial “start-up” expenses, immersion program costs equals those of traditional education.
Immersion programs attract new families thus having a positive impact on enrollment numbers. Check out the “Case Study” involving the add.a.lingua home base school. In this time of economic decline and decreasing private school enrollment, just look at what’s happening!
