Our Story
​The Immersion School was founded to offer language and cultural immersion opportunities for children as young as three years old. We believe that children have an innate curiosity and a natural ability to learn languages. After searching high and low for a program like this for our children, we decided to fill the gap ourselves and create one. With 90% of a child's brain developed by age five, our program is designed to foster learning in a fun, play-based environment, creating the ideal setting for children to thrive from the very beginning.
​
At The Immersion School, we don’t just teach a language; we open hearts and minds to new cultures, preparing your children to be global citizens who will thrive in an interconnected world. This school was created by people who wanted the world for their children and grandchildren, and now are offering it to yours.
​​​​
We are now enrolling for the 2025-2026 school year!

Ronit's approach to educating young children is to foster a love of learning, and help them grow into confident, compassionate, citizens of the world.
