Languages

French is taught to all students in grades K-8.  Students in grades K-2 are introduced to French language and culture through word games, songs, puppet shows, and role plays, with an emphasis on vocabulary, general comprehension, and enjoyment.  Formal study of grammar, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing begins in 3rd grade and progresses through the 8th grade, with steady progress toward complete language immersion in the upper grades.  Graduates of the program generally place out of two or more years of high-school French.  Latin is added as a full-time subject in the 7th and 8th grades.  The two-year program comprises the first year of high-school Latin.
