At SCIS, we recognize that native language fluency is an important predictor for overall academic success. To help meet the needs of diverse learners, we strive to support after school mother tongue instruction in a variety of languages in an extra-curricular capacity.

Working with our strong parent community and outside organizations, our goal is to facilitate language instruction to the Shanghai community by arranging foreign language teachers, resources, and a venue for students to continue developing their first language. These schools aim to offer similar curriculum and instruction to what students would receive in their home country.

These language programs also provide a context for students and families to develop friendships and celebrate cultural traditions. We have found our affiliated language schools to be highly successful and enriching for all who participate.
