Greater Boston Academy and Edgewood Elementary Curriculum Foreign Language

Foreign Language

The knowledge of languages brings students into contact with new ideas and exposes them to a broader concept of the world. It is the aim of GBA's foreign language classes to provide cultural enrichment beyond the learning of the language as a study of grammar in addition to acquiring a foundation in comprehension, writing and conversation.
