Jefferson Elementary School

Dual Immersion Program: Highly Effective Teachers Producing Quantifiable Results in Two Languages! No lip service, just profoundly competent and dedicated teachers producing children with a lifelong love of learning! My children have been gifted with private education at a public school in Santa Ana. They went to kindergarten speaking only English. Jefferson returned them after fifth grade speaking, reading, and writing two languages! A gift, to be certain! We are very grateful. (Disclosure: my endorsement is for the 'Dual Immersion Program.' I have no knowledge of the English Only program and cannot recommend.) Please compare the Dual Immersion standardized test scores to the English Only test scores before making any decision on enrollment.

I am a parent. My son attends this elementary school and is in the dual immersion program. I love the parent involvement, teachers and safety. My son has become a bilingual student thanks to this school. I also love all the activities the school has that involves the family such as movie night, skate night etc... I live in orange and drive my son to this school in santa ana. :)

From a parent and former educator's perspective, Jefferson Elementary does a tremendous job at making children into lifelong learners. My son is now bilingual and biliterate because of their Dual Immersion Program. My child received a 'private' education in a public school, a savings of countless thousands now applicable to his college account! Fully recommended with highest regards and from a mother's heart!

Both my six year old son and eight year old daughter participate in the dual immersion program and love it. They are given the opportunity to learn two languages at the same time by qualified and professional teachers. I believe that this particular program is more rigorous than the early exit bilingual programs and the English Mainstream and Immersion programs. The expectations are held high and parents are very active in their children's education. I highly recommend this school for its instrumental music program, art-theater, and its wonderful dual language empowering program. Why wait to learn a second language until high school or college when your child can start at four or five years old.
