info@globalideaschool.org At Global Idea School, students spend 50% of their day learning English and 50% Spanish. Throughout the day, students learn the same concepts in both languages, thus acquiring vocabulary to express what they know in English and Spanish. This model allows students to grasp knowledge regardless of which language, English or Spanish, is dominant.
Picture two students, Ana and Pete, in the same grade. While Ana is fluent in Spanish and has basic knowledge of English, Pete is fluent in English and knows a few words in Spanish. They begin the school day in Spanish, learning about the solar system. While Ana learns the names of the planets quickly and asks the teacher many questions, Pete works on acquiring vocabulary in Spanish (planeta, sol, galaxia, Marte, etc.).
After lunch, Ana and Pete begin the English portion of the day and continue learning about the solar system. This time, Pete learns the names of the planets quickly and asks the teacher to tell him more about Mars, which he remembers is called Marte in Spanish. Meanwhile, Ana works on acquiring vocabulary in English (planet, sun, galaxy, Mars, etc.). At different moments during the day, they help each other, boosting self-esteem and strengthening their friendship.
