Casper, Wyoming considering Mandarin immersion school
Natrona County School District sets Dual Language Immersion meeting
An informational meeting on the proposed Dual Language Immersion program is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday in the Jefferson Room at the Nartona County School District’s Central Services Facility, 970 N. Glenn Road.
Dual Language Immersion allows children to learn a foreign language during their regular classes. Children are taught half of the day in English and the other half in Mandarin Chinese or Spanish. The program would be optional for NCSD students. If approved, a pilot program for kindergarten students would begin this fall.
NCSD officials are determining the level of interest from parents and from schools interested in offering the program. The meeting is intended to help introduce the idea to parents, district officials said.
