Language Programs

Our curriculum, crafted by Harvard-trained teachers and applied linguists, emphasizes oral proficiency, practical application, and cultural immersion.

We enable students to achieve ACTFL Intermediate Low to Mid oral proficiency in just two years.

Arabic I - II

Arabic is one of the oldest living languages. Major advances in mathematics and sciences were first documented in Arabic. The numbers everyone uses today are called “Arabic numerals.” It is a poetic, rhythmic language spoken throughout North Africa and the Middle East.

Chinese I - IV

The formal name of China is Zhōngguó, which translates to “Central Kingdom.” As the name suggests, the country has had a major cultural impact on the countries around it. Many words used in Vietnam, Korea, and Japan have Chinese roots. Today, 1.4 billion people speak Chinese as their mother tongue.

Japanese I - IV

Japan is where you find the past and the future. Visit one of the oldest shrines in Tokyo, witness the emergence of a new culture, or experience popular Japanese foods on our live virtual trips. The Japanese language's unique adaptability not only reflects the essence of its rich heritage but also opens a gateway to a fascinating new world.

Korean I - IV

The Korean alphabet, Hangul, is considered one of the most sophisticated alphabets in the world. With concentration, you can learn to read Korean in an hour. While mastering the language takes more time, you'll soon find yourself singing along to your favorite BTS and Blackpink songs

Spanish I - IV

Spanish is a beautiful Romance language spoken by over 460 million people globally. Each Spanish-speaking nation has rich roots represented by warm people, vibrant cultures, and stunning landscapes. From the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina to the warm beaches of Mexico, Spanish comes alive in its unique way worldwide.
