“We want to raise our children so that they can take a sense of pleasure in both their own heritage and the diversity of others.”    Mr. Rogers

Philosophy

Throughout the year, we use an interactive approach to language learning. Using the theory of the Natural Approach, (second language is acquired in much the same way we all learned our first), and the Total Physical Response method of language teaching, our classes are busy and active ones. As the year progresses comprehension precedes speech production. This means that the students will understand more words in Spanish than he or she will be able to produce. Also remember that translation does not necessarily indicate a lack of understanding.

Parents are encouraged to participate in “Learning a new language” with your children.
