ADELANTE SPANISH IMMERSION

Adelante Spanish Immersion is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Redwood City Elementary school district, located in Redwood City, CA with about 462 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Adelante Spanish Immersion has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Adelante Spanish Immersion School, located in Redwood City, California, is a specialized public elementary school within the Redwood City School District that utilizes a "dual-language immersion" model. The school’s primary mission is to foster academic excellence while ensuring students achieve full biliteracy in both Spanish and English. By integrating native Spanish speakers and native English speakers in the same classroom, the school creates a collaborative environment where students develop strong cross-cultural competencies alongside their traditional academic studies.

The curriculum is designed to be rigorous, meeting state academic standards while emphasizing language acquisition and cultural appreciation. Beyond core subjects, Adelante places a high value on community engagement, aiming to produce students who are not only bilingual and bi-literate but also globally aware citizens. Its location on Granger Way serves the local Redwood City community, providing a unique educational pathway for families looking to equip their children with the linguistic tools necessary for success in an increasingly interconnected world.
