Chattanooga School of Language promotes cultural diversity and language in summer camp for kids
Customized summer language classes are also available by request
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – This summer kids will have the opportunity to take a “Trip Around the World” at the Chattanooga School of Language’s culture camp – without summiting a mountain or crossing an ocean.
The camp consists of two, four-week terms throughout the summer for children in age groups 4-7 and 8-12. Term A is from June 9 to June 30, and term B is from July 7 to July 28. Classes will meet from 9 a.m. until noon every Saturday of the term at the school’s location, 3908 Tennessee Avenue.
“We believe in the lasting impact of exposing children to different cultures and languages at a young age,” said Laurie Stevens, owner of the Chattanooga School of Language. “Not only does such experience create a more well-rounded, creative individual, but there are proven cognitive advancements for children who learn a second language at an early age.”
Each week of the culture camp will feature a different language, country and culture. Kids will “take a trip around the world” and experience firsthand the art, music, heritage and language of a foreign country. In order to provide children with as close an “immersion” experience as possible without actually being in the foreign country, teachers at the language school use a variety of tools to create a dynamic, hands-on learning atmosphere. Cultural aspects are integrated into the language learning via music, art, film, food and more. Classes will focus on both grammar and practical conversation.
According to Stevens, the language school has received a lot of feedback from families who see the importance of ensuring their children receive language training. Through its customized language classes, CSL creates the ideal learning environment for homeschooled groups, families, workplace training, children and more.
According to Julie Kaiser, mother of two children who attend St. Jude School, finding a Spanish class for her 10-year-old son was of utmost importance. “My son Sam is 10 and has been wanting to take Spanish for a couple of years. We were so lucky to find CSL, as there are no classes I could find for kids. Mrs. Pullen [Claudia Pullen, CSL Spanish teacher] makes learning Spanish fun by being very interactive, and now Sam wants to put sticky notes all over the house to learn the Spanish words for objects! It’s homework he doesn't complain about!”
