Dual language immersion is a research-proven instructional approach that prepares students to think, read, and write in two languages, resulting in students becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural.
Dual Language Immersion programs are additive, meaning that a child does not lose their native language but instead strengthens their native language and adds a second language.
Bilingualism and biliteracy prepare students to think more broadly and critically, results in higher language arts and math achievement and increases career pathways opportunities in adulthood.
Ansgar Larsen’s Dual Language Program follows a 90/10 model. This model begins in Kindergarten with 90% of the academic instruction delivered in Spanish and 10% of the academic instruction delivered in English. This ratio is adjusted as students matriculate from grade to grade. For example: Kindergarten = 90% Spanish, 10% English. First grade = 80% Spanish, 20% English. Second Grade = 70% Spanish, 30% English. Third Grade = 60% Spanish, 40% English. Fourth Grade = 50% Spanish, 50% English. Fifth Grade = 50% Spanish, 50% English
The 90/10 model requires a closely aligned curricular program where instruction in key content areas such as language arts and math so that the skills are not retaught in both languages but are built upon in each language.
Uniforms are required!
We wear uniforms at Larsen. Colors are Navy or Kahki bottoms, white, navy, red tops. Students can wear a variety of styles to fit their style. See guidelines for specifics.
Safety First
Safety is our number one priority at Larsen. We ask that during morning and afternoon Drop Off and Pick up, you do not park in the roundabout in front or back of the school. The Parking lots are for district staff and individuals who need accessible parking only except for a few labeled visitors parking spots. We recommend you park in the street and walk up to pick up your child.
If you use the roundabout, you must drive through and if your child is not visible, you must drive out of the roundabout and reenter at the street. Their is NO PARKING on the roundablout.
The roundabout is a single lane drive their is NO passing on the left. Students are boarding and exiting vehicles.
Remember to use crosswalks and sidewalks when walking to campus. Please be respectful to staff as we work together to enforce safety for all. Thank you in advance for making our school safety a priority!
