Boston College TWIN-CS

Two Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools - TWIN-CS
TWIN-CS 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, Pre-K students, and Kindergarten students are learning in dual-language immersion classrooms in which they learn 50% of the day in English and 50% of the day in Spanish. 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 by Boston College in dual-language instruction.  Early childhood teachers also hold a variety of certifcations including Bilingual Education and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with several participating in Boston College's Bilingual Education certificate this year.
