Grantsville Elementary is home to a French Dual Immersion Program. Currently we have the program in 1st-8th Grades. There are approximately 400 students learning the French language through the immersion program in Grantsville. We are fortunate to have this program in our school. Students from within our boundaries and from other areas of Tooele County School District have the opportunity to learn French.
Utah’s Dual Language Immersion program offers a rich bilingual experience for young learners when their minds are developmentally best able to acquire a second language.
Instruction is divided between two high quality creative classrooms:
One in English
One in French
Proven Benefits:
Second Language Skills Students achieve high proficiency in the immersion language.
Improved Performance on Standardized Tests Immersion students perform as well as or better than non-immersion students on standardized tests of English and math administered in English.

Increased Cultural Sensitivity Immersion students are more aware of and show more positive attitudes towards other cultures and an appreciation of other people.
Long Term Benefits Immersion students are better prepared for the global community and job markets where a second language is an asset.
