The CBA Middle School Adventure Begins in Grade 5

By: Principal Lane

Dear Parents,

The CBA Middle School adventure begins in grade 5, which is earlier than some schools!

Grades 5 – 8 are a time when students are still excited about learning but are now ready to be challenged with increased individual responsibility. Students are learning to go deeper in their thinking as they evaluate, analyze, and create. They want to know ‘why’, are eager to learn the ‘behind-the-scenes’ facts, and enjoy showing off their knowledge. They grapple with accepting the need to learn from others even as they begin to take on more responsibility for their own learning.

Update on Summer Adult Spanish Classes

We've shifted plans a bit for our summer adult Spanish class offerings to a format we believe will be more beneficial to you!  We are offering PRIVATE adult Spanish classes in June and July, which will allow you to:

• Book only the dates that work for you, around your travel plans
• Learn at your own pace, as fast or slow as you want to go
• Have the entire class to practice conversation with a native speaker!! (why you're wanting to learn Spanish, right??)
• Get 100% personalized instruction on the topics you want to learn, with written resources provided for practice outside of class

Have a friend or two you'd like to learn with? Let us know and we can form a small group class (and you can split the cost!). 

Registration is now open! Create an account or log in to get started.

Avoid the "Summer Slide" with LOM

Here’s your friendly reminder to make plans now in order to keep up your child’s language progress over the summer break. The “summer slide” is real, but by being proactive you can prevent learning regression and even make forward progress over the summer!

CBA’s online language program, Language on Mission (LOM), offers Spanish & Mandarin classes for 6 weeks over the summer. Choose the dates & times that work with your schedule, with discounts available the more classes you take. Email LOM Director Pam Davis (pam@languageonmission.org) with any questions!
