Bilingual Elementary School for Coastal GA

First and foremost, we are a group of parents committed to the absolute best for our children.  We have realized that the schools availbale to us will not serve every need that our children have, and we have realized that we must take resposibility for our own family's education.

In this increasingly global age, we have found that learning at least one additional language is paramount to securing our children's futures. There are only two options to ensure that our children grow up fully bilingual: the first option is to spend equal time in a country where Spanish is spoken as much as English is spoken here. However, this option is not available to most of us, so we must seek the second option: to enroll our children in a biligual immersion program which will give our children the best education in two langauges: English and Spanish.

There is also a third reason why we petition the board for a fully bilingual immersion program: economic development. This community will flourish with this type of option for families, not only because our studetns will grow up global citizens who will be able to use their skills on a global scale, but because affluent families will be attracted to this community because we offer a bilingual option for education. Our students will one day see a world in Richmond Hill, GA where they have every skill at their disposal to conquer two worlds: the world that is monolingual and the much larger world that is bilingual.
