St. Luke’s WLLO Program: World Language Learning Online
From Upper School World Language Department Chair Jon Shee:
St. Luke’s World Language Department has added a new language study option: WLLO (World Language Learning Online). Think there’s no time to learn a new language? The WLLO program allows motivated students to cover an entire year’s worth of world language study at their own pace…anywhere…starting at any time. WLLO is a combination of self-paced online lessons and 20 one-on-one sessions with a St. Luke’s World Language teacher. Students who are passionate about learning a new language have the opportunity to study French 1, Latin 1, Mandarin 1 or Spanish 1 online, with regular support from an SLS instructor whom they will meet either in person or virtually via videoconferencing. Once students finish the program (which can be completed within a couple of months, or up to over an entire year), they can “skip” into a traditional Level 2 course at St. Luke’s if they wish to pursue further formal study.
The WLLO program is open to all 9th-12th grade students, and after Spring Break of each year, 8th grade students may also sign up. WLLO has an additional course fee of $2000, plus materials.
