The goal of Spanish Two-Way Immersion is full bilingualism and biliteracy in both Spanish and English for English and Spanish-speaking children. Two-Way Immersion is a distinctive form of immersion education in which balanced numbers of native English and Spanish speakers learn together to read, write, speak and listen in both languages. All academic content is delivered equally across the two languages to students throughout the school day. Students work at the exact same academic level as traditional classroom students. They learn the same content to the same high expectations. In middle school, Two-Way Immersion students can continue with bilingual instruction, combined with students from the Sonia Sotomayor Elementary Spanish Immersion students.

We advocate for and support the Spanish Immersion Program in Sioux Falls Public Schools with a primary focus on interns who enhance the language and cultural experience in the classrooms and in the community. We also donate money through grants for teacher development and resources for the classrooms and libraries.

Mission
To support and advocate for students, teachers, and interns in the Sioux Falls Public Schools Spanish Immersion Program.

One of the main things PASI does is bring the world into your student's classrooms via supporting interns. In all grade levels, this gives the teacher an extra set of hands and allows students time to work on academic subjects with more attention from either the teacher or an intern.
