"It takes a very special teacher to motivate children and give them confidence the way my daughter's teacher does."
— A Lower School Parent
Did you ever imagine that your 5-year-old would be able to say "el elefante grande" or that your fourth grader would be able to read about Berlingo the Clown’s space and underwater adventures in French? In the Lower School, world language study begins in junior kindergarten with Spanish. Our students focus on Spanish through second grade. French is taught in the third, fourth, and fifth grades.
