About Our School

A Different Way to Learn — and Remember

Foreign Language Academic Immersion Magnet is a public magnet school in Baton Rouge dedicated to a simple but powerful idea: children learn languages best when they're used as the medium of instruction, not just the subject.

From kindergarten through fifth grade, students in our immersion program receive core academic instruction in their chosen language. Math, science, reading, and social studies are all taught through the target language, so fluency develops naturally alongside strong academic skills.

How It Works

Immersion That Grows With Your Child

Our program is designed to build language proficiency gradually, ensuring every student develops confidence and competence at their own pace.

Early Exposure (K–2)

Young learners absorb language naturally. In kindergarten and first grade, instruction is mostly in the target language through songs, stories, play, and visual supports. Students build listening and speaking skills before formal reading.

Building Fluency (3–4)

By third and fourth grade, students are reading and writing in their immersion language. Academic content becomes more complex, and students begin to think and reason in the new language alongside their peers.

Mastery (Grade 5)

By fifth grade, students are functioning at or near grade level in both their immersion language and English. They graduate with strong academic skills and a functional second language — a genuine advantage for middle school and beyond.

Our Community

Families Choose FLAIM for a Reason

Parents and students share what makes our immersion community special.

"My daughter started French immersion in kindergarten with zero exposure to the language. By third grade, she was reading chapter books in French and teaching us words at home. The teachers made her feel capable and confident from day one."

Parent of 3rd Grade Student

French Immersion Program

"We were worried about the transition since we don't speak Spanish at home. Our son adapted faster than we expected. The school communicates clearly with parents, and watching him gain confidence in a new language has been incredible."

Parent of 5th Grade Student

Spanish Immersion Program

"As a teacher myself, I was impressed by how the immersion model supports both language acquisition and content mastery. My children are not only learning a second language — they're thinking differently because of it."
