Mamaroneck Schools To Explain Dual-Language Program

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- The Mamaroneck school district is holding two information meetings about its dual-language English-Spanish program, Dos Caminos, for kindergartners on Thursday from 9:15-10:15 a.m. and 6:30-7 p.m. in Mamaroneck Avenue School's all-purpose room.

This program is open to all kindergartners who are entering school in September.

Join school officials as they discuss research highlighting the benefits of dual-language instruction and look at how they believe the dual-language program will help produce bilingual, biliterate and bicultural students. 

Some of the benefits of dual-language programs include: 

• Oral and written proficiency in two languages (students learn two languages effortlessly and authentically).
• High academic achievement.
• Cross-cultural understanding and respect (biculturalism).
•  Cognitive enrichment, including enhanced executive control functions.
