At Mark Twain Dual Language Academy, we believe that all of our students should develop into responsible high-achieving global citizens. We pride ourselves in offering the most advanced and comprehensive wall-to-wall bilingual education/dual language experience that fosters high caliber bi-literacy, strong cognitive metalinguistic skills, and a deeper bi-cultural appreciation.
