Immersion Programs
PPS has several Language immersion programs. These include one for Mandarin Chinese at Woodstock Elementary, and a Spanish Immersion program at Atkinson Elementary. The Mandarin Chinese program feeds to Hosford Middle School, which in turn feeds to Cleveland High School. The Atkinson Spanish Immersion program feeds to Mt. Tabor Middle School and then Franklin High School. Beach, Clarendon-Portsmouth (now, Cesar Chavez School) and Ainsworth Elementary Schools all have Spanish Immersion programs as well, which feed to Lincoln High. There is also a Japanese Immersion program which runs through Richmond Elementary, Mt. Tabor Middle School, and Grant High School.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
