Two-Way Spanish Immersion

The goals of TWI are biliteracy and biculturalism, high academic achievement, and sociocultural competency. TWI classrooms maintain a balanced number of multilingual learners and students who primarily speak English in their homes.

TWI students learn academic content in Spanish and English from their teachers while they simultaneously learn both languages socially from each other. 

VASD resident families can submit a request for their child to attend the TWI program and selection will be based on a lottery system to help ensure the TWI program maintains a balanced class composition.

Families apply and may be accepted to TWI for incoming Kindergartners from mid-January through mid-February for the following Fall.

The elementary TWI program is offered at Glacier Elementary School and Sugar Creek Elementary School and the secondary TWI program is offered at Badger Ridge Middle School and at the Verona Area High School.

Students from any VASD attendance area schools are eligible to apply to TWI and will be provided bussing to the aforementioned sites should they be selected for TWI via the lottery process.
