The benefits of studying a foreign language extend far beyond the acquisition of a second language:

·       Research shows that children who study languages excel in other areas of study, such as reading, social studies and mathematics.

·       Children gain a greater awareness and understanding of cultures other than their own.

·       Children who study a second language gain a clearer understanding of their own native language.

·       Children who study a second language have higher SAT scores, especially in verbal areas.
