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:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
