Were you hoping to hit the ICS lottery but didn’t? Check out a NEW research-based, 2-way, Spa/Eng, dual language program (Kindergarten) @ Southwark Elementary School, SDP. I enrolled my son today after 3 visits to the school and am happy to answer any questions you might have via email: Jessica.esquivel34@yahoo.com.
This program is being offered for the 2014-2015 school year, in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, Dept. of Linguistics; The Dept. of Bilingual and Multicultural Education of the SDP, Puentes de Salud Community Organization and the East Passyunk Crossing Education Committee.
We are recruiting native English speaking or English dominant families now, citywide. Native Spanish speaking spots will likely be filled within catchment. This program has a stable funding stream. You may also contact our amazing principal directly with questions about Dragon TWI (Two Way Immersion): Andrew adlukov@philasd.org.
