We’re searching for families who are ready to give their children a holistic bilingual education centered on Christ in Macon County’s pioneer dual language immersion program.

STEPS TO APPLY

What is Dual Language Immersion?

This is not a school with a Spanish class, this is school in Spanish! Your child will begin fully immersing in the Spanish language from day one of Kindergarten. Subjects are taught in 80/20 Spanish & English to a student base that is made up of both native English and Spanish speakers.

Who We Are

We are focusing on holistic and family involved education that promotes Biblical Character building, authentic and connected Community, and Cultural diversity through immersion. All of our core values are centered on Christ and are drawn from the Word of God. Our preschool classrooms are play-based and language immersive, while our elementary school Is project (mission) based learning. Learn more about these learning styles here:
