Old State Elementary School in Townsend, DE offers an Immersion Program that allows students to complete the district's rigorous academic program while immersing themselves in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish language and culture from kindergarten through 12th grade. Students in the program become proficient in both languages, gaining flexibility in thinking, sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening, while also opening the door to other cultures and increasing job opportunities in careers where knowledge of another language is an asset.
The Immersion Program at Old State Elementary School is designed to develop successful learners who perform well on standardized tests and acquire fluency in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish. Students in the program are not screened or pre-selected based on IQ or testing, and parents are encouraged to consider the long-term commitment and benefits of enrolling their child in this 12-year learning map.
