What are the options?
Language immersion schools Overview:
• Double immersion: Students are fully immersed in two nonnative languages. • Dual immersion: English and non-English speakers are mixed in a classroom to learn each other’s language. Benefits: • Allows students to learn from and interact with different cultures. • Improves and stimulates brain development.
Private schools are tuition-based schools oper- ated by private organizations that are self-gov- erned independently and not regulated by state government. Here are some of the most common private school types parents might encounter, Colangelo said.
Language immersion schools allow students to learn subjects in multiple languages and gain bilingual or multilingual fluency. Various program types exist, including: • Partial and total immersion: Students are immersed in a new language 50%-100% of the time.
Montessori schools Overview:
Religious schools Overview:
Traditional schools Overview:
Montessori education was developed by Maria Montessori, an educational philosopher, to provide students with developmentally appropriate, hands- on learning opportunities. Students are placed into multi-age classrooms usually spanning three years, according to the American Montessori Society. Benefits: • Montessori schools can be beneficial for students who are independent, like working at their own pace and enjoy experimentation. • Students participate in self-directed work and teachers serve as guides for learning goals.
Religious private schools are run by organized religious groups or churches that incorporate their teachings in curriculum and experiences, such as chapel services. Benefits: • These schools allow students to be immersed in a particular religion throughout the school day, which is not available at public schools. • Various religious affiliations operate private schools from Christian, Islamic and Jewish faiths.
The term “traditional” is an umbrella term used to represent a wide variety of private school options. These schools can have religious or non-religious affiliations and set their own curriculum standards. Benefits: • Most private schools have smaller campuses and class sizes than public schools. • A specific class or mission may be offered (science, technology, engineering and math focus; language immersion). • Religious-based education is available.
