CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Parents of children eligible to begin kindergarten in the 2019-2020 school year who are interested in learning more about the Spanish Immersion Program at Barksdale are invited to attend a parent interest meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6 – 7 p.m. at Barksdale Elementary School.
The Spanish Immersion Program at Barksdale Elementary offers all academic instruction in the target language of Spanish. Partnered with the proven successful language immersion company add.a.lingua, the Immersion program is committed to a quality dual-language approach with the goals of increased academic achievement, cross-cultural intelligence, and high levels of bilingualism.
This authentic communication during the school day allows students to learn a second language in a similar manner in which they learned their first language.
The program began in August 2018 with two kindergarten classes and is projected to grow by a grade level each school year.
