At 1221 Anderson Road, Davis, California lies Cesar Chavez Elementary School. Originally at this location was the prior school, West Davis Elementary school. In 1997 they turned West Davis Elementary School into Cesar Chavez Elementary School, a Spanish immersion (just like Language immersion) school. The hope with making the school the first Spanish immersion in Yolo County was to teach children at a young age (early immersion) the Spanish Language both verbal, writing and the culture. Cesar Chavez is a Spanish immersion school, meaning that at the school they learn both Spanish and English. The Spanish thus is integrated into the standard curriculum.
