Our School
Woodcrest Spanish Immersion is home to students in preschool through grade 4 from Fridley, Blaine, Spring Lake Park and nearby communities.
Woodcrest offers a dual language immersion program with speakers of English and Spanish and a goal to graduate bilingual and biliterate students. Our Spring Lake Park Schools' approach to personalized learning comes to life for our young learners in their immersion experience. The curriculum is the same as other elementary schools in Spring Lake Park Schools but in a full immersion model where students experience 90 percent of their day in Spanish and 10 percent in English.
After Woodcrest, the immersion journey continues at Westwood Intermediate and Middle School and then Spring Lake Park High School.
