We measure our success by the results we are able to achieve for the students we serve.
Frontiers Academy students receive content instruction for language arts, math, science, and social studies, in the target languages, for 60% of the day in Kindergarten – Grade 3, with a gradual increase in time spent in English as they develop through the program. It is through this intensive exposure to academic content in a second and third language that students develop mental flexibility, leading to greater cognitive abilities and advanced language proficiency.
Standardized test results for our students in grades 2 through 5 show, on average, higher scores in all subject matter tested in English using the ERB CTP-5 as compared to the national norm of independent schools, as well as higher levels of language proficiency using the AVANT Stamp compared to other immersion programs.
