Join our discussion on creating a dual-language magnet school for the Hartford region. Dual-language schools (also known as two-way immersion) enroll balanced numbers of English-speakers and native speakers of the partner language (such as Spanish), and design a curriculum for all students to learn both languages. Dual-language schools have successfully brought together English- and Spanish-speaking students for a quality education in other parts of the United States. How can we draw upon this model to create an interdistrict magnet school for city and suburban students in the Hartford region?<\/p>\n
