HOUSTON MULTILINGUAL SCHOOL

Dragi viitori si actuali parinti,

Nu vreau sa ratez ocazia de a va informa despre o initiativa foarte interesanta (multilingual school in Houston) de care am fost informata direct de catre fondatoarea acestei scoli prin intermediul Romanian Language Playgroup  ( http://www.meetup.com/Romanian-Playgroup).

O scoala multilingva urmeaza sa se fondeze in Houston, care, depinzand de prezenta noastra, v-a putea include si clase in limba romana!!!!! Este o sansa reala de a ne face simtita prezenta in mod oficial in sistemul educational.

Initiatoarea si fondatoarea acestui project m-a abordat  rugandu-ma sa o ajut cu acest survey pe care sa-l distribui romanilor din grupul de joaca al copiilor romani (http://www.meetup.com/Romanian-Playgroup).

Personal cred ca nu exista dubii in ce priveste necesitatea unei astfel de scoli in Houston si sper ca si voi sa impartasiti aceeasi opinie.

Va rog, alocati-va 5 minute din timpul vostru ca sa raspundeti la cele doua intrebari si sa le trimiteti la adresa: Aceasta adresa e-mail este protejata impotriva spamului, JavaScript trebuie activat pentru a putea vizualiza pagina. sau mie la Aceasta adresa e-mail este protejata impotriva spamului, JavaScript trebuie activat pentru a putea vizualiza pagina. .

Multumesc anticipat pentru ajutorul vostru.

HOUSTON MULTILINGUAL SCHOOL

Education and multilingualism are a very high priority for me. I have a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and my children are raised in several languages. My oldest is 2 years old and currently interacts in 3 languages other than English. Unfortunately, research shows that it is very likely that these languages will eventually take a back seat if he goes to a monolingual school.

On the one hand, there are many families in our situation : bilingual and trilingual families have become a reality in the Houston area. On the other hand, there is an increase in the number of monolingual parents who understand that their children must learn at least a second language to be competitive in our globalized world.

For these reasons I am currently working with other professionals on opening a multilingual school in the Houston area (Medical Center / Pearland west). This private institution will provide a rigorous academic program and offer an education in heritage and foreign languages, eventually from PK to Grade 12. We expect students graduating from the school to be competitive and fluent in 2 or more languages.

It goes without saying that this project is a huge undertaking and necessitates careful preparation. At this time we invite Houston families to let us know what their needs are in terms of languages. If a multilingual school is what you are looking for your children, please send an email to our temporary address: Aceasta adresa e-mail este protejata impotriva spamului, JavaScript trebuie activat pentru a putea vizualiza pagina. . Simply indicate :


1) The age of your children

2) The languages you are interested in (up to 3 other than English). Please note that all languages will be considered. That is not only Spanish, Chinese or French, but also not commonly taught languages such as Russian, Greek, Vietnamese, Romanian, Portuguese, etc.
Then, we will contact you when our official website is set up. The website will provide details about the school and information about raising multilingual kids
