What makes TCMS LOTE special?

What makes TCMS LOTE special?

What makes TCMS World Language special:

  • World Language 6  – BCSD is very proud to offer a full-year, 40-minute daily language program for German, French, and Spanish in 6th grade!!  Most TCMS middle school students will have three years to learn level one!  
  • Teaching Assistants—Each year, BCSD hires four assistants: two Spanish-speaking, one French-speaking, and one German-speaking. Our assistants live with Brighton families and work with BHS and TCMS students, sharing cultural information and exposing students to their native language throughout the year. Once every six days, the assistants come to TCMS and work with our teachers and students.
  • Language trips – In eighth grade, students have the opportunity to travel! Spanish students travel to NYC, French students travel to Quebec, and German students travel to Vermont to enhance their language experience further. These trips are not mandated.
  • Better AP Scores – Students are well prepared for their AP World Language class due daily practice of foreign language in the 6th grade program.  Learning another language enhances knowledge of English structure and vocabulary, in turn building better readers and writers.
