Mission Statement

The Ridgewood Public Schools World Languages curriculum provides a fun, interactive experience for a student’s first exposure to language. The content for each unit is based on an authentic story, myth, or legend from the culture. The course, designed specifically for younger students, focuses principally on vocabulary acquisition through stories, games, songs, and practice activities. Students are exposed to language and speaking in a fun environment, where they can explore meanings and begin to express themselves through simple words and phrases.
