在教育领域，双语学校的发展近年来有了显著的增长。以卡尔加里教育局为例，提供语言和文化双语教学的学校数量大幅增长：十年前，有6所学校提供双语教学; 而今天，卡尔加里教育局有17所学校提供三种语言（德语、普通话和西班牙语）的双语项目，此外还有24所提供法语沉浸式教学的学校。
“双语项目为孩子们提供了学习其他语言和文化的机会，”Christine Cheung 表示。“在多元文化的社会中，增进理解和共同体验会加强关系，研究还显示学习第二语言对脑部有益，有助于记忆、创造性思维和解决问题。”
Cheung 是Highwood School的校长，该校是一所专注于汉语（普通话）的双语小学，她亲身经历了双语项目的扩展。

In the case of education, the development of dual language schools has grown significantly over the years. In the Calgary Board of Education, for example, the number of schools offering language and cultural bilingual instruction has grown significantly: ten years ago, six schools offered dual language instruction; today, there are 17 schools in the CBE offering bilingual programs in three languages (German, Mandarin and Spanish), in addition to 24 French immersion schools.
“Dual language programs provide children opportunities to learn in and about other languages and cultures, says Christine Cheung. “In a multicultural society, building understanding and common experiences strengthens relationships, and studies have also shown the benefits to the brain in learning a second language that promotes memory, creative thinking and problem solving.”
Cheung is the principal of Highwood School, a bilingual elementary school focusing on Chinese (Mandarin), and she has experienced the expansion of the dual language program first hand.
