We believe you have the right to learn world languages and experience other cultures. You should make meaningful connections with your instructor and learn the languages that you want to learn – regardless of access or the curriculum offerings at your school. If you have a computer, you can learn the language you want and expand your career opportunities.

All the above languages are offered in four levels (1-4) and available to middle school and high school students.
You will get the opportunity to learn a new language focusing on the ability to speak and communicate in the target language. In live sessions you and a small group of peers will meet with your instructor in a virtual classroom. You will get to know your instructor and build a student-teacher relationship that will allow you to comfortably communicate to the instructor during the live sessions and throughout the week. You can experience live sessions one, two, or three times a week based on your schedule. On days when you are not in live sessions, you can continue your language learning with content and activities designed in a virtual learning platform. These authentic, relevant, and engaging activities can be done at any time to meet your needs and personal goals.
Language learning requires students to actively engage and break out of our shells, I was particularly impressed with the activities that our instructor had us engage in from the beginning of the semester; she had us singing, stretching, signing from the get-go and quickly established our expectations for how we were expected to interact within the classroom.

“This year was my first year taking a fully online class because I am a freshman in high school. Next year, I am taking the next level of online language, Latin two, and other online classes due to my instructor exceeding my expectations of an online class. Any time my fellow classmates or I had a question, my teacher was available for a clear explanation.”

“The communication with the World of Learning staff throughout the process was outstanding!! They were super responsive, listened to our feedback, and coordinated with us to make adjustments based on our building’s schedule. The live sessions were instrumental in providing a cohesive, engaging learning environment for our students that directly involved the students in interacting and communicating with the instructor.”

I’ve taken up studying Japanese again using Duolingo, and I still remember the kana and several words like it was yesterday. I still can identify if something is a verb or a negative, too; you sure did a great job!

Taking an online class is different because it allows for me to work at a more comfortable pace and work ahead if I am able to.

CCA has been in partnership with The WOL Institute for a few years, but this is the first year that we have offered all of our High School language courses in partnership with them. The WOL Staff is truly interested in putting student learning first ensuring that learning can happen anytime and anywhere. They have been responsive to the needs of our learners, listened to our feedback and redesigned their program to meet the needs of our learners.

I can’t say enough about my semester learning from Buckwalter Sensei. Throughout my education, I’ve taken a number of courses within an online learning environment and this has been one of the absolute best I’ve experienced. In fact, I’d say that it exceeded my experiences with on-campus courses.” Melanie, Seton Hill University
