About World Language Classes
The world language classes offered by the PTO at Willard are meant to be introductory language classes. Your student will not be fluent at the end of this class.
Instructors will introduce a variety of vocabulary words and verbs to the students over the school year with the goal of students being able to have short conversations by the end of the year.
Class Sizes
- World Language classes are open to students in grades 1-4 (see class lists below for details)
- Classes will be capped at a maximum of sixteen (16) students.
- A minimum of twelve (10) students are needed to conduct the class.
- If fewer than twelve (10) students enroll in a particular class, that class may be canceled or combined with another class.
- If a class is sold out when you try to register and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please see the waitlist directions below.
Interested in Teaching a World Language?
- If you or someone you know is interested in teach a world language next school year (2027-2028), please email [email protected] with the language you are interested in teaching as well as your experience teaching elementary school age children.
- We are always looking to add additional languages — especially German, Japanese, Mandarin, or Korean. Classes are typically taught on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays during Lunch/Recess (11:30am-12:30pm) from October-April. Free, full background check (including fingerprints) is required.
