Live Oak Elementary offers students an exciting educational pathway through its Spanish Immersion program. At Live Oak, students learn academic subjects in both English and Spanish, gaining language fluency while building strong academic foundations. The school’s approach emphasizes belonging, encouragement, and curiosity, helping students grow as confident communicators and problem-solvers.
Applications to join the Spanish Immersion program are open now through December 17.
Preparing Students for a Connected World
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. By learning Spanish from a young age, students develop skills that help them communicate across cultures, understand new perspectives, and participate more fully in a global society.
The Spanish Immersion experience at Live Oak allows students to:
- Use language in meaningful, real-life classroom learning
- Gain comfort speaking and understanding Spanish through daily instruction
- Strengthen communication and critical thinking skills
- Build confidence interacting in diverse settings
Students do more than learn a language. They learn how to connect.
Academic and Cognitive Benefits of Bilingual Learning
Research shows that students who master more than one language often demonstrate:
- Stronger attention and focus
- Better memory and information processing
- Greater problem-solving flexibility
- Increased ability to learn additional languages later in life
Bilingual learning supports growth in every subject area, including reading, writing, and math. It also fosters curiosity, open-mindedness, and a broader worldview.
A School Community Centered on Growth and Care
Live Oak Elementary is known for its warm, supportive learning environment. Teachers and staff are committed to helping every child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The Spanish Immersion program reflects the school’s belief that all students deserve opportunities that expand what they see possible for themselves.
