Immersion Research

Since 1972, study after study has described and documented the positive effects of language immersion programs. Immersion program students acquire remarkable proficiency in the second language. They also show equal or superior performance to their monolingual English-speaking peers in measures of subject-content mastery in math, science, and social studies.
