Classes

CBA classes incorporate powerimmersion strategies, where instruction and strategic play time in Mandarin or Spanish-speaking environments are led by highly qualified, native-speaking teachers. Class activities alternate between free and structured play time that include games, sports, art, music, literacy, math and Bible lessons.

Students in our Early Childhood Education classes are introduced to beautiful glimpses of Chinese or Latin-based culture in playing games, listening to fables, singing and making crafts. This time is completely set in Spanish or Mandarin, which is distinct from schools that only offer foreign language classes, because research is clear that children effectively learn a second language in an immersion environment.

Students in Kindergarten through 7th grade study Spanish Language Arts and Math according to fun Social Studies and Science themes completely immersed in Spanish. 

Elementary and Middle School students also participate in an English Language Arts program taught through project-based learning. CBA has crafted our curriculum through adapting Common Core standards and ACTFL language proficiency standards along with Linguafolio Jr. styled assessment techniques. You can read more on our blog.
