EMS Debuts World Languages Academy

Parents and their children now will have the opportunity to learn a language together through EMS ISD's new World Languages Academy. Opening in October 2017, the program will offer language enrichment courses for students grades 2-12 and their families.

The Academy will debut with Spanish and American Sign Language, which were the top two languages requested in a survey of parents during spring 2017. Additional language classes will be considered as the program grows.

The program is open to students in grades 2-12 free of charge. The cost for a parent or grandparent to participate with the child is $75 per year. Each class is limited to 30 members.
