CHINESE IMMERSION

Students who enter at the elementary level become fully immersed in their target language for their entire academic career at BIA West. By the end of the program, students are bilingual and biliterate in both English and their chosen target language. Students will also have the opportunity to take another language as an elective once they reach the Middle School level. BIA West currently has a partial Spanish Immersion program for Middle School and accepts applications for new students in 6th grade. These students experience two subjects taught through Spanish Language Immersion (Language Acquisition and Individuals and Societies, or Social Studies). The rest of their subjects, Math, Science, English Language Arts (ELA) and Resources, are taught in English.
