After School Language Program

Language is Power. The Gift of Language Lasts a Lifetime.

The power of language can greatly enhance the pathway for your child’s future. It creates an advantage for almost any career they choose. Knowing English, Mandarin, and Spanish allows for communication with 90% of the world.

Why Learn Mandarin?

Here are several reasons to learn Mandarin:

• Learning Mandarin early can help students do better in school and can influence a child’s entire academic career.
• Learning another language besides English also helps many students read, write and speak English better.
• The ability to speak Mandarin makes students stand out and is even more impressive in non-Asian children.
• Learning Mandarin opens doors to history and culture.
• Being fluent in Mandarin, when applying to universities, distinguishes a teen from their peers, and can help land them an acceptance letter from the school of their dreams.

Why Learn Spanish?

Learning Spanish expands minds and enriches lives.

• Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world.
• Develop language skills early on and gain an academic advantage.
• Understand English better, by improving linguistic acquisition skills.
• Increase opportunities for safer and more enriching travel.
• Broaden cultural horizons.
• Improve future employment opportunites.
