World Languages are encouraged and taught at Slate School through both immersion and direct instruction. 25% of our families speak languages other than English in their home, and those students share their many languages with our community. Additionally, many of our students have explored languages for their independent projects, ranging from “The Languages of Oceania” to “New Zealand Sign Language”.
Our students engage in immersive Spanish learning starting in Kindergarten, supported by our Curator, Environmentalist, and Grade 5/6 Associate Teacher, who are all fluent Spanish speakers.
