These opportunities that we give students only helps them make better choices and know other cultures as they grow and learn through the grade levels.
The world is increasingly interconnected and our economy is increasingly reliant on knowledge of other cultures and their languages. This is an incredible program equipping students from an early age to have the skills needed to thrive.
We inspire more than 40,000 students every week
with our Mandarin and Spanish Language Programs
Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, appreciate their history or savour their songs.
