When Deerfield Elementary opened in 2014 the school started a partial German Immersion Program. The program offers 50 slots for incoming Kindergarten students who will continue with German until their High School graduation.
The students spend about 2.5 hours per day receiving Math and Science instructions in German based on the South Carolina Standards just like all other students. The other core subjects areas of English Language Arts and Social Studies along with Related Arts (Music, Art, Computer class, STEM, and Physical Education) are held in English.
Deerfield Elementary School utilizes The Leader in Me curriculum as a tool to teach students critical thinking, goal setting, listening and speaking, self-directed learning, presentation-making and the ability to work in groups.
Lexington School District One is dedicated to providing and encouraging a learning environment that prepares our students to be the next generation of leaders and global citizens who are self-directed, creative, collaborative, caring, and multilingual. To achieve this goal our school is equipped with state of the art technology that we use on a daily basis.
