Two-Way Dual Language Program

The two-way dual language program is a model of bilingual education that strives to maintain the native language of the student who is acquiring a second language.

Purpose/Goal

 The goal of the program is to develop full biliteracy and bilingualism while fostering cross-cultural awareness. It is designed to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in both English and Spanish.

Program Description/Summary

 Students receive instruction in both languages beginning with a kindergarten cohort through sixth grade. English speakers and English learners are integrated for academic instruction in accordance with the program design and model selected by the school district’s board of trustees. Fifty percent of the students in this program are dominant English speakers and fifty percent of the students are native Spanish speakers.

Qualification Requirement

Parents of incoming kindergarten students are eligible to apply for admission into the two-way dual language program beginning in the spring of the prior school year. Students must be zoned to Bryan ISD. The application/admission process includes:

  1. Attend a required informational meeting

  2. Complete Two-Way Dual Language application

  3. Complete Bryan ISD school enrollment

  4. Completion of a student’s oral language proficiency test

An overall score will be given to each student and those with the highest ranking will be invited to participate in the program.

The Two-Way Dual Language Programs at Crockett, Henderson, Johnson, and Jane Long Intermediate require a 6-year commitment (kindergarten through sixth grade).
