Spanish Immersion
As pointed out above, Spanish immersion at this school is believed and known to be a way of initially teaching the children at the school how to speak and write in Spanish at the starting age of 6 or 7 (1st grade) and continue until graduation in 6th grade. By this time they hope that the children have a good boost to being fluent in the Spanish language later on in life. At Cesar Chavez, all courses; Spanish, Math, Social Studies, Science, and even P.E. and Computer arts are taught in Spanish.
