PAGE 39 KIDZ CONNECTION theconnectionsnj.com udsonWay Immersion School (HWIS) supports students to become confident, biliterate and globally competent leaders, prepared for success in an ever-changing world. Students ages 2 - Grade 8 attending the day school program learn all the academic subjects in either Mandarin or Spanish and English, developing fluency in two languages while developing confidence and cultural awareness. HudsonWay remains intentionally distinct. • In preschool, we focus on curiosity, language, and emotional security as the foundation for learning. • In elementary school, immersion becomes literacy, academic depth, and confident problem-solving. • In middle school, immersion evolves into voice, leadership, and preparation for increasingly complex academic and social environments. Students also have opportunities to participate in international travel experiences that extend language learning beyond the classroom and deepen real-world cultural understanding. HudsonWay welcomes new students in elementary and middle school without prior language. With targeted support and an accelerated immersion approach, motivated learners typically reach bilingual proficiency in one to two years. Graduates of HudsonWay’s middle school are well prepared for the next stage of their academic journey. Many earn top scores on AP language exams, receive the Global Seal of Biliteracy, and the majority of 8th-grade graduates are accepted to their first-choice high schools. In addition to its day school program, HudsonWay offers immersion summer camps from June 22-August 7, after-school enrichment, and Bilingual Buds Mandarin or Spanish playgroups for children ages 1-3. Private tours are available by contacting Tracie at txiong@hwis.org. Bus transportation from select neighborhoods and needbased financial aid are offered. Learn more at www.hwis.org.
