Admissions

Welcome to Admissions!

Founded in 2005, we are the oldest Mandarin and Spanish immersion school in the NYC/NJ area. Our small class sizes, diverse community where 70% of our students are people of color, and native-speaking Mandarin and Spanish teachers create a nurturing environment for your child to learn and grow. At HudsonWay, your child will develop into a high-achieving, biliterate, emotionally intelligent young adult who is well-prepared for a global future. 

If you’ve landed here, you’re already taking a great step toward preparing your child for a global future, and we’re so glad you’re here.

At HudsonWay Immersion School, we truly value your interest in our program. Whether you're exploring options for one child or multiple siblings, we welcome your family with open arms.

From here, you can learn more about why HudsonWay might be the right fit, how our unique language immersion approach works, and what next steps to take. Whether you're ready to begin the enrollment process, want to explore the many benefits of full language immersion, or would like to connect with a current HWIS parent, we’ve got you covered below.

Immersion Overview

In most schools, students are taught in their country’s primary language. However, in the full language immersion model that we teach, students are taught most or all subjects in a second language. Not only is language immersion the most effective way to teach students another language - it also has a powerful and lasting impact on academic performance, cognitive/intellectual functioning, and emotional intelligence.
