Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Programs promote the acquisition of two languages in integrated environments that focus on high expectations, cooperative learning and individual strengths. The three major goals are:
1. To promote academic instruction so that all students become bilingual and bi-literate through the implementation of the state and local frameworks and standards;
2. To provide students and staff with an environment that develops cross cultural understanding; and
3. To provide a variety of opportunities for positive interactions among families, sharing their cultural heritages.
