International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program Comes to Washington D.C. Schools
Shephard Elementary School Immersion Program
Washington D.C. Schools are eager to begin a new language immersion program at the primary school level. Beginning in August of 2006, pre Kindergarten students of various foreign language backgrounds will join the new language immersion program. In particular, French and Spanish speaking children are needed to start this two way immersion experience. Students participating in the program will receive either French English or Spanish English content classes taught by teachers fluent in the target language. Children born in late 2001 and early 2002 and speak a foreign language are encouraged to enroll.
The Shepard Elementary School program is part of the Washington D.C. Public School Systems ongoing efforts to integrate the International Baccalaureate Program into the elementary school level.
