Our dual-campus community promotes diversity, appreciation for the Hispanophone world, and academic achievement.

Our Spanish Immersion Program teaches students to read, write, and speak in Spanish, starting in K4. English-language instruction begins in second grade. Immersion education challenges students to develop powerful multilingual communication abilities and so much more.

• Exploring a new language encourages children to share their culture and appreciate other cultures and communication styles.
• Studying core content in an immersion setting promotes fast and flexible thinking, stronger working memory, and supports academic achievement in all subjects.
• Growing up bilingual and bicultural boosts confidence and creativity.

Milwaukee Spanish Immersion School staff offer expertise and experience to bring out the best in every student. MSIS families and students can expect:

• Learning experiences that support academic and personal growth
  Social and emotional lessons help students develop confidence, set and achieve goals, and become strong, bilingual leaders.
• High academic standards and support
  Extra help includes after-school enrichment, take-home tools for parents, and online resources that support immersion learning.
• Technology blended into daily learning
  Students are taught to use the Internet safely to build research and media literacy skills.
• Family engagement
  MSIS family members are welcome as volunteers and can join our School Engagement Council and Parent Teacher Association.

Mission

Our mission is to create a nurturing learning environment for all.

Vision

We envision that within five years, MSIS will maximize all students’ academic and social potential with an emphasis on cultures from the Spanish-speaking world. Every student will be socially equipped to respect all individuals and to appreciate each other’s differences. Students in our immersion program, within seven years, will reach proficient levels in Spanish and English. MSIS students will become world ambassadors who will raise cultural and social awareness.

Values

• Diversity of languages, individuals, and cultures within the Spanish-speaking global community
• A safe, supportive, and respectful environment for the equality of our school community
• Adults partnerships in the education of all students at MSIS
