SELA is an immersion school where children learn through English, Spanish, and Mandarin across a full academic day — language isn't a subject here, it's the medium for everything from math to art. Two campuses on Boston's South Shore serve children from 3 months through 6th grade.
3 months through Pre-K in Early Global Education, and Junior Kindergarten through 6th grade in the Elementary School — across our Hingham and Norwell campuses.
Children spend their day surrounded by native-speaking teachers. Language is acquired the way a first language is — through play, routine, and real conversation — so understanding and fluency build naturally over time, without flashcards or drills.
No. Decades of immersion research are consistent: students reach grade-level English benchmarks and frequently exceed them, all while gaining a second and third language. English literacy is woven throughout the curriculum.
Not at all. Most children arrive with no prior exposure to the immersion languages. Our youngest learners especially absorb new languages with remarkable ease.
Yes. Our language teachers are native or near-native speakers, so children hear authentic pronunciation, rhythm, and culture from their very first day.
SELA keeps small group sizes with low student-to-teacher ratios that vary by age, so every child is known well and supported closely. Our admissions team can share the current ratios for your child's program.
Families are part of the SELA community — through events, cultural celebrations, and open communication with teachers and directors. We'll share the many ways to take part once your child is enrolled.
We'd love to meet you. Schedule a tour to experience a normal school day, meet our team, and see immersion in action.
