Academics

FLAIM is a language immersion school. Language immersion is a teaching method where the teacher speaks in the target language to teach students the academic material and a second language at the same time. FLAIM students are taught math, science, and social studies in their target language by French, Spanish or Mandarin speaking teachers.

 

This successful approach of learning the language in an authentic, meaningful way mimics the way a child learns their native language.

​

Students also receive daily English Language Arts instruction by a native English-speaking teacher.
