We offer two 12 week semesters (24 classes per semester) of elementary level foreign language education designed to introduce children to cultural differences, while promoting the amazing intellectual benefits that are known to come with early foreign language studies.
  
Young minds are particularly adept at grasping (and retaining) foreign languages. Children's World Languages allows children to take advantage of this window of opportunity,  giving them an advantage that otherwise would be lost. 

We use traditional academic exercises along with song, repetition, games and arts and crafts to form a basis of language understanding. Instructors are all highly qualified classroom language instructors. The curriculum has been custom-designed with the assistance of notable academic consultants. It presents students with a fun and challenging introduction to world languages.
 
Early Foreign Language Studies have shown:

•   Higher Academic Performance – Early exposure to Foreign Language shows an advantage on all-around academic performance, including improved problem solving skills, and enhanced intellectual flexibility.

•     Higher Test Scores – Studies have repeatedly proven that students with 4 or more years of foreign language study perform an average of 140 points higher on the Critical Reading portion of the SAT, plus another almost 140 points higher on the Math portion, and an additional 150 points higher on the Writing portion of the SAT (source: www.early-advantage.com).

•     Advanced Reading Skills – A study by York University of Canada suggests that multi-lingual children achieve superior reading skills, using their broader language skill set to apply knowledge to reading materials,

•     Improved Confidence – Young children have a unique “window of opportunity”, which allows them to quickly grasp and retain language information. As they get older, this window closes, and we have to work harder at acquiring language skills. Having a second language gives children a better understanding of their primary language, English, as well as a unique skill set that enables them to have the confidence to launch into a broader enthusiasm for learning.

•     Broader Cultural Understanding – In today’s ever more Global community, our students will be better-equipped to participate in multi-cultural environments, and more willing to participate in the cultural experiences they will be presented with.
