Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School
In the heart of the Livonia Public School district is the Japanese Magnet School, Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School. The school provides a unique educational opportunity, which focuses on a two-way immersion program for both Japanese and American students. The mission of the school is to provide students the opportunity to be immersed in a second language, while learning from each other and celebrating both the American and Japanese culture. The students will become bilingual, respectful and globally-minded individuals.
Niji-Iro Elementary is a tuition-free magnet school, part of the Livonia Public School District and enrolls children throughout southeastern Michigan. Students who enroll in Niji-Iro are considered part of the Livonia Public Schools District, regardless of where they currently reside.
Niji-Iro Japanese Immersion Elementary School is grounded in the Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) and Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BIC) models in order to effectively implement a two-way immersion program. Teachers artfully combine the Common Core Standards, Michigan GLCEs and Japanese standards into their daily teaching. The school has a defined ESL (English as a Second Language) program and JSL (Japanese as a Second Language) program to support the goal. It is important that our students become bilingual as well as develop an appreciation for both the Japanese and American cultures.
