California Family Chooses School Where Children will Speak Spanish

Posted Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Featured on Episode 6 of the 2009-2010 season

 

Experts say getting your children into a good school can be the key to a good education. Thelma Gutierrez reports on a family in California who made drastic changes to make sure their young children got into a school where they would learn a second language. They chose Jefferson Elementary in Lindsay, California, a school with a special program called “Dual Immersion.” The goal is fluency in Spanish and English by sixth grade.
