Boston College TWIN-CS

Boston College's TWIN-CS (Two Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools) is a national initiative to share dual language research, ideas, techniques and resources with the goal of supporting students in becoming bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate. The network's innovative design and programming enables students to maintain their language and culture, while systemically transforming schools from monolingual to multilingual modes of education.

For the 2022-23 school year, Nursery through Kindergarten students learned in our dual-language immersion classrooms with a 50/50 language allocation model. This means that 50% of instruction was provided in English and 50% in Spanish each day.  The dual-language program will move up to our 1st-grade classrooms in September of 2023 and continue growing one grade level per year.  

Early childhood teachers are trained and mentored in dual language instruction through the Boston College TWIN-CS program (Two-Way Immersion for Catholic Schools).  Early childhood teachers also hold a variety of certifications including Bilingual Education and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
