🌟 Our first session at the language school for kids was an absolute blast! 📚 We dove into the exciting world of language, where our little learners had a fantastic time learning how to introduce themselves, express their emotions and feelings, by playing a fun game with adorable ghosts 👋🤗🌈 Learning can be so much fun, and we can't wait to explore more on Saturday for our second session !🌟

Language School for Kids

The Saturday Language School aims to promote early second language acquisition by children who want to learn a second (or third!) language. Children in pre-K through 5th grade will have the opportunity to learn a second language and gain knowledge of the rich traditions of the target cultures.

The program’s philosophy is based on research findings that the best time to start learning a second language is during childhood, and that early second language education brings cognitive, academic, social, and cultural advantages to children. The curriculum includes activities that teach languages through games, songs, stories, and crafts.
