Foreign Languages

We offer each student a daily opportunity to become familiar with a foreign language.  Children in grades K-3 have classes in play-based spoken French and French culture with Mme. Gohard. Upper school students participate in the Rosetta Stone immersion program, which emphasizes speaking and grammar. They are encouraged to take at least one year of Latin, and may also chose to study another language from a list of over twenty. Recent research indicates that language lab programs like Rosetta Stone are generally more effective in teaching inherent grammar structure than explicit classroom instruction. Our language lab program are customizable allowing for individualized progress and pacing.  Our site license allows our kids to practice at home, as well as study more than one language.
