At Concordia Language Villages, our approach to language teaching puts villagers into a grand simulation of a trip abroad and into a culturally authentic setting—similar to what you might find in that foreign country—but filled with carefully designed learning opportunities and well-trained language teachers who help villagers understand what they hear, learn how to respond and converse and practice new skills all day, every day. Students can choose from Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Finnish, French, French Voyageurs, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, or Swedish.
Youth opportunities range from Adventure Day Camps to Virtual Camps to one-, two-, or four-week Overnight Camps that offer a fully immersive experience. In addition, the High School Credit program, which is fully accredited by Cognia, allows students in grades 9-12 to obtain a full year of language credit in just two or four weeks in Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, or Swedish.
