2 Campuses Have Spots Available in Their Two-Way Dual Language Program for ’24-’25

Disponible en: Español

Specifically, seats are available for students whose first language is not Spanish.

The two-way dual-language program, launched in the fall of 2019 in kindergarten classrooms, has expanded by a grade level each year. It will grow to be a K-12 program. Students must start the program in kindergarten at one of five campuses designated campuses with the program.

It is a proven Grade K-12 program model. The five campuses integrate English-proficient students (sometimes called Native English speakers or non-emergent bilinguals) with Spanish-proficient students (sometimes called Native Spanish speakers or emergent bilingual speakers). All students receive instruction in English and Spanish.

Goals of the Program

Bilingualism & Biliteracy: Ability to communicate — listen, talk, read, and write — in two languages
Multiculturalism: Ability to understand and appreciate different cultures
Biliteracy Seal: Students can earn high school credit beginning in elementary school. Those who meet the requirements can graduate high school with the Seal of Biliteracy.

Vines and Hinojosa Have Seats Available for the ’24-’25 School Year

Vines EC/PreK/K School and Hinojosa EC/PreK/K School are still recruiting non-emergent bilinguals; these are English-proficient students who want to learn Spanish.

“The two-way dual language program is ideal for the family looking for a way to give their child a bilingual education,” said Altagracia ‘Grace’ Delgado, executive director of the AISD Multilingual Department. “If you want your child to learn in English and Spanish, you may be interested in the Two-Way Dual Language Program programs offered by Aldine ISD. These programs allow students to learn half of the instructional day in English and half the day in Spanish.”
