Two Decades of Bilingual Excellence: HudsonWay’s 20th Anniversary Celebration

HudsonWay Immersion School (HWIS), a pioneer in language immersion education is proud to be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Founded in 2005 as Bilingual Buds (rebranded as HudsonWay Immersion school in 2014) in the home of founders Sharon Huang and Bill Hicks with a handful of students including their twin 2-year old sons, the school has since expanded to include two tracks: Mandarin and Spanish immersion, two locations: Stirling, NJ and Midtown West, NYC, and three divisions: preschool, elementary and middle school with a total enrollment of over 300 students. The school is unique in that it is the only Mandarin/Spanish immersion school in the tri-state area offering a full immersion model through eighth grade. Students learn all subjects in two languages and develop critical thinking skills needed in today’s globalized world.

LIFE AT HWIS

At HudsonWay Immersion School, our commitment to academic excellence is not just about textbooks—it's about hands-on learning that sparks curiosity and fosters critical thinking. Recently, our Science teacher Ms. Dalma Felenyi led the 6th and 7th grade students in an exciting project exploring chemical interactions and the kinetic energy of particles. The students investigated what happens to gas particles when heated and cooled, diving into scientific concepts while developing essential skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and experimentation.
