Foreign Language
-
In this increasingly global economy, we believe that it is imperative to speak a foreign language and learn about other cultures. Our main objective is to help students become globally engaged and productive citizens. Learning a foreign language not only opens up a student’s horizon to create empathy and understanding for all, but it also encourages students to reflect on their own use of language and culture.
Merci - Danke schön - GRACIAS!
