Foreign Language

Dabble a bit or take a course for high school credit, we offer options for every age. Most programs are exploratory and do not require a parent to know the language, however, good pronunciation is always important. We have selected materials to help you find success when exploring a new language. Some are full immersion (no English used) while others use English to teach the new material. Some have an online component, while others are a simple picture book with vocabulary words. We have Latin, Greek, and American Sign Language options for every age too!
