SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Independent School District is preparing to launch a new dual language academy.

The Twain Dual Language Academy will offer opportunities for students to become fluent in both English and Spanish.

Pre-K to second-grade students will be the first to enroll in the academy, which will later expand to eighth graders.

An SAISD advisory board is working to bring dual-language learning to more schools over the next few years.

The programs are already in place at two schools in the district.
