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

The HWCDSB offers free language classes to all students enrolled in the 2020-21 elementary school year and to those attending a private school or are home-schooled. The focus of this program is to offer children an opportunity to develop and/or maintain the ability to listen, speak and write a new language or the language of their home and heritage. At the same time children learn about the culture and heritage associated with the language.

Classes run for 2.5 hours one day per week. No prior knowledge of the language is necessary.

Once a student has registered and the classes have been organized, the Head Instructor of each language program will contact the parent/guardian to provide information on the name of the instructor, and the day and time of the virtual language lesson.

Chinese ILEP Open House

On Friday January 17, 2020, the Chinese ILEP (International Languages - Elementary Program) group at St. Thomas More Secondary School held an Open House. The parents/guardians went to their children’s rooms and participated in various language and cultural activities. They then went into the cafeteria where they shared snacks and viewed an excellent slide presentation of their children participating in many cultural events throughout the year. Great fun was had by all.
