    The document discusses a Spanish immersion program with two main goals: [1] To promote global citizenship by developing bilingual and bicultural students fluent in both Spanish and English, and [2] To ensure academic achievement by providing instruction in core content areas in both Spanish and English. The program aims to gradually increase the percentage of time spent teaching in Spanish each year from preschool through 5th grade. It is believed this will enrich children's cognitive development and foster understanding across cultures while also improving achievement in core academic subjects.
