The county in which my consultancy school resides is considering some new initiatives through VIF International Education, including the Splash! Language Immersion program. In this program, classroom instruction in the participating classrooms is taught in Spanish, with only enrichment courses being taught in English. For the school profile, the primary language of instruction is English. If they were granted Splash! programs, two of the kindergarten classes would be taught in Spanish, then the following year they would add first grade, the next year add a second grade class, etc. The ratio of instruction is 90/10 in the K-1 grades, and 50/50 in grades 2-5, with more English instruction added in second grade. The remainder of the students in the school would still have their instruction primarily in English, with the second language instruction in Spanish that we currently offer. The school asked the following question: Would the inclusion of this initiative in any way alter their profile or our application?
