Our Languages

Purpose

The Language Acquisition program is a part of Burlington School District (VT) after-school programming. Our classes provide instruction in community-spoken languages. Active multilingualism is proven to enhance learning, well-being, and community cohesion. In fact, multilingualism in the classroom tends to decrease ethnocentrism. Additionally, students can earn Vermont's Seal of bi-literacy by attending our classes and passing an exam.
