Primary Years Programme

IB is an internationally recognized curriculum for teaching students that focuses on the whole child.

St. Louis Park joins together with schools from across the world in the IB-PYP to create educational opportunities that prepare students to be independent learners, understand different cultures, embrace challenges of the 21st century, and thrive in a global society.

Immersion Experience

Language Immersion is an approach to language instruction in which the learning activities are conducted in a partner language (Spanish). This means that the new language is the medium, as well as the object of instruction. Immersion classes follow the same curricula, and often use the same translated materials as those used in the non-immersion schools of their district. The ultimate goal of the language immersion classroom is content mastery and biliteracy in English and Spanish.
