Foreign Language Programs

Achieving high levels of oral and written proficiency is a long-term process. A long-term commitment is essential if your goal is language proficiency. However, even if your goal is not proficiency, language study—at any level—enhances test scores and cognitive development.

You can support you child(ren) by working with them at home with worksheets sent home from the Clubhouse. In addition, you can watch children’s videos using the foreign language option that is often available on today’s videos. Attending local cultural events is another helpful option.

Research consistently finds that the immersion experience actually enhances English language development.
