Flowery is a Spanish/English dual immersion school, providing all students with the opportunity to become bilingual, biliterate and bicultural. Begun in 1998 with one kindergarten class and a $1,000,000 federal grant, dual immersion now spans grades K-5 at Flowery and grades 6-8 at Adele Harrison Middle School. By 2010, Flowery will have accomplished its goal of becoming a dual immersion magnet school. We are proud to offer this high quality program of choice for Sonoma County families, and are committed to educating all children for success in a global society.

We are a community of learners who value childhood and work together to ensure all children maximize their learning potential. We believe academic excellence is achieved through meaningful instruction, maintaining a safe and secure learning environment, attention to the social and emotional development of our students and ongoing support from home

Nestled along Highway 12 in the beautiful Sonoma Valley, Flowery provides a unique learning experience for the whole child. Besides the core bilingual curricula, all students participate in a PTO-funded art program, a standards based garden science program, weekly computer classes and library time with access to books in Spanish and English. PE and music, including percussion, band and chorus, are also part of the curriculum. We average 375 students in grades K-5 each year with approximately 60 students per grade level, creating a tight-knit community and stability for children as they move through the grades.

Academic growth is measured in multiple ways. Some indicators used to gauge student success include motivation, age-appropriate school habits, fulfillment of assignments, ability to work cooperatively and independently as well as performance on class assessments and district benchmarks. Additionally, standardized tests in English and Spanish are administered annually in grades 2-5. The schoolâ€™s Academic Performance Index (based only on English tests) of 659 for the 2005-06 school year showed a growth of 51 points for our students. Flowery alumni transition well into Adele Harrison Middle School following their elementary experience, and the middle school dual immersion students outperform their peers in state testing.

If you are looking for a bilingual educational experience for your child that combines academic excellence with a focus on preparing your child to succeed in a global community, consider Flowery.
