Would Your Child Like To Learn A New Language Or Their Heritage Language And Culture?

For over 25 years the International Languages Program has provided elementary school children with an opportunity to experience the culture, traditions and language of their heritage or of other countries.

The HWCDSB offers the International Languages program to elementary school children from JK to Grade 8 free of charge. No previous knowledge of any of the languages is necessary and classes run once a week for 2 1/2 hours.

It is never too late to register as students are accepted throughout the school year.

It continues to be an excellent way to enrich day school learning…and have fun too!

Hungarian Flying Squirrels!!!

Our Hungarian International Languages - Elementary experienced a wonderful class trip promoting language and physical literacy with a visit to the Flying Squirrel, a local indoor trampoline park. They jumped, and hopped their way to a fantastic time. The rich discussions and activities that followed this trip built community and language skills. Looks like they had tons of fun!
