Language Immersion Program

English language teaching system

At JMIS we have an English immersion program and therefore all students learn English as their primary language in school through all materials using the four second language skills.

From early childhood, children are introduced to the language by their guide, who speaks to them only in that language. As support, in each class we also have a Spanish assistant who can speak to the children in their native language to support their knowledge and help them develop it too.

For the first six years of our education, children are only asked to use English in different areas of learning. This means that once children start working through presentations, everything is taught using this second language as a vehicle.

Once the boys and girls begin the primary stage (Elementary I and II), we also introduce them to learning the Spanish language in some subjects to achieve the academic objectives required by the Spanish educational system.
