Goose River Language Instruction

For Middle and Elementary School

Love the World

By 2050, the US may have more Spanish speakers than any other country in the world. The result will be a more diverse and competitive workplace and academic environment. Second language proficiency will be increasingly beneficial and ultimately necessary in some fields.

Intellectual Inquiry

Language learning encourages children to cultivate abstract thinking and intellectual flexibility. They learn to problem-solve without giving-in to frustration. They learn how to be confused without becoming passive and how to be independent and receptive learners.

Teaching Curiosity and Courage

It takes curiosity and courage to learn a new language. Middle grade students are introduced to language learning as a practice, a discipline, and an art. As a result, they become receptive to new and challenging concepts in all aspects of their lives.
