Novice Language Programs

Novice Programs

Our novice programs support beginner level students.

• Learn to ask, answer, read, and write everyday sentences through "student-to-student" activities.
• Study the cultures of different native speaking countries.
• Gain foundational skills to achieve bilingual proficiency. 

Classes are small for more one-on-one learning with our native-fluent teachers (8:1 ratio).

About Novice Level Programs

Our Novice Programs meet once a week and are categorized by age.

Students learn best through enjoyment!

• We integrate play-based activities, theatrical performances, action games, creative poetry and modern native music with our curriculum.
• We teach everyday topics of conversation using student-to-student activities.
• We introduce students to various native-speaking countries around the world.
