bilingual schools
Two-tongue teaching institutions
Bilingual schools are educational institutions where instruction is delivered in two languages, typically the dominant language of the country and another language students speak at home or are learning.
The goal may be to help non-native speakers transition to the primary language while maintaining their first language, or to produce students fluent in both.
The district opened several bilingual schools to serve its growing Spanish-speaking population.
