At Lincoln Avenue Academy we believe that language is a foundation of learning. Therefore, we deliberately schedule language expression and learning throughout the curriculum and the instructional day. Through language, students are enabled to communicate effectively, explore the academic and social environments, problem solve, express and value different perspectives and ideas, and frame their own identity.
We believe that all teachers are language teachers. Through exploration of language, our students become independent thinkers, responsible global citizens, and effective communicators, able to grasp the nuances of our multilingual world. Our language approach is anchored in the idea that rich language instruction develops awareness of diverse cultures, varied perspectives, curiosity, and creativity and, as such, prepares our students to be internationally minded individuals who appreciate the richness of global diversity.
