    • Abstract:
      The article profiles the Catholic school, St. Mary Magdalen in San Antonio, Texas which began offering dual-language education in 2012. Topics covered include how its implementation of the Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools (TWIN-CS) has led to an increase in enrollment, especially among Latino students, the respect to the language and culture of Latino students that the dual-language curriculum offers, and how students work together to achieve bilingualism under the program.
