Languages

Our Languages curriculum program features sequenced learning progressions with built-in teaching techniques and practices that teachers can deliver systematically with mastery and flair. This logical and structured approach builds on students’ previously acquired learning, which enables them to master skills before progressing to more challenging tasks and to achieve cognitive growth from every lesson.

Harness the power of ancestral language 

Language is a powerful way of connecting people and transmitting culture through generations. When students can communicate in their own language, they strengthen their connections to their cultural group and shape their identity. Speaking one’s own language is a powerful way to ensure cultural survival and has a positive impact on shaping a strong sense of identity, maintaining wellbeing and growing self-esteem and confidence.
