Splash Dual Language Immersion
What is Splash Dual Language Immersion?
Martin Millennium Academy is excited to offer the Splash Dual language immersion program. Dual language provides an attractive option for all parents who want to offer their child with the competitive advantage of being able to speak two languages fluently. Parents wishing to enroll their child in the program must start during the child's kindergarten year. Once enrolled, scholars spend 90% of their day fully immersed in the Spanish language with a highly qualified, native spanish-speaking teacher. The results are amazing! Within months, scholars in the program begin to develop conversational Spanish speaking ability!
Children who learn in two languages benefit from high academic achievement, language proficiency, increased critical thinking skills, increased cognitive development and greater cultural sensitivity, according to recent studies.
