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.

Famous quotes containing the words elementary and/or school:
“As if paralyzed by the national fear of ideas, the democratic distrust of whatever strikes beneath the prevailing platitudes, it evades all resolute and honest dealing with what, after all, must be every healthy literature’s elementary materials.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
