WHEN?
The optimum time to learn another language is as early as possible. Students can elect to begin their study in middle or high school. To maximize an “early start,” ASD has five elementary language immersion programs and two FLES programs, each beginning in kindergarten and continuing through middle and high school.

WHY?
Learning another language is an important step in preparation for today’s modern world of international business and relations. The ability to communicate and view the world from another’s perspective is an asset.
