Holiday Program

Spring is in the air!

Spring is the most delightful season, we love spring so much!

Spring is a great time to have fun and enjoy learning new things!

Spring into spring with lots of beautiful flowers, crafts and rainbow colors, “April showers bring May flowers.” This saying reminds us that rain helps flowers to grow. It also helps vegetables and other plants to grow. Rain is very important. Without it our rivers and lakes would be empty and we wouldn’t have enough water to drink.

In spring, the earth warms significantly, causing new plant growth to spring forth, giving the season its name. Spring is a time to fly kites, to enjoy colorful rainbows, and to celebrate the birth of baby animals.

Every year the earth rotates one time around the sun. Help children learn about the organization of this time into days, weeks, and months with this theme on the calendar. Fun children activities and ideas to incorporate into morning circle time, songs, movement, literacy activities, and games are all included.

We’re offering your child the chance to experience fun and exciting way to speak English fast during the 2 weeks spring holiday.

It is widely recognized that English is the world’s lingua franca. English is used internationally as the language for science, technology, business, trade, tourism, diplomacy, and global problem solving. Our children will grow up to become global citizen; they must be exposed to real-world content that helps them understand other people and cultures. Their increased understanding of the world and their ability to communicate in English across cultures will help them be better prepared to actively and successfully participate in the world of the future.

 Cultural Connections

It’s also important to connect children to their home cultures in the English Language classroom. Making connections to the local culture will help children relate to the contents and build a stronger understanding of themselves and their place in the world. In addition, learning to express aspects of their own culture in English is another step toward effectively using English as a global language. Heritage International School Summer Program helps children appreciate their own culture and encourages them to keep their culture strong.

Global Citizenship

Learning about the world, through theme-based teaching benefits young learners, as different topics provide informational structure and a meaningful basis for exploration through a variety of language learning tasks. Learning is enriched through activities that expand knowledge of the world and its cultures, people, and places. Addressing the needs of the whole child in the language class includes attention to learning styles, learning strategies, critical thinking skills, 21st century skills, and universal cultural values.

We understand that your busy work schedule doesn’t stop during your child’s vacation and enrolling your son or daughter in our winter school offers you and your child a sense of continuity – extending the engaging, fun learning environment they enjoy during preschool, kindergarten, after school or Saturday school through Christmas vacation.
