At Wise Oaks, we know the importance of this and hence have come up with the Optional Foreign Language Enrichment Program. For Grades 3-8, we have the option of choosing either French, Mandarin, Hindi, or Tamil as Third Language. Learning another language also provides many other benefits including greater academic achievement, greater cognitive development, and more positive attitudes towards other languages and cultures. Simply put, language learning is necessary for students to effectively function in the modern global marketplace.
