Spanish bilingual schools no longer just for remedial education – San Francisco

“A new school year has begun at the year-old Escuela Bilingüe, believed to be the state’s first and only Spanish bilingual private school, where 110 children, about equally divided between English and Spanish speakers, are starting with a full immersion in Spanish. They are expected to graduate speaking, reading and writing fluently in both English and Spanish and with a mastery of all the usual academic subjects.

Private bilingual schools for students of French and German are well established – there are at least five French bilingual schools in the Bay Area alone – and they’ve long been popular among well-heeled parents with European connections wanting to raise cultured children who can skillfully navigate the global economy.”
