Welcome to our Lingua Natal family!

Since 1993, Lingua Natal’s mission has been to provide children with the opportunity to enrich and widen their horizons through language immersion. We provide an engaging, vigorous and yet gentle and loving environment conducive to the development of happy, healthy minds and hearts. We strive to inspire a new generation dedicated to the betterment of the world and cooperation and friendship among its people.

Lingua Natal is a unique school that helps develop the superior critical thinking abilities and mental flexibility in students that is associated with being bilingual and multilingual. We have a faculty of caring individuals with backgrounds in music, art, psychology, child development, plus several cultures and their traditions. Each of our teachers are trained in Origin, our proprietary methodology and curriculum, as well as our mindfulness program, Positive Discipline, and the Virtues language.

At Lingua Natal, we respect each child’s individuality and uniqueness. We tap into the potential curiosity and innate talents of students. We help students learn in the ways that are right for them, nurturing a joy of learning and a passion to pursue their interests. The results are students who are self-motivated, creative, independent, intelligent, socially responsible, kind, and love peace and diversity of cultures and languages.

The key to our 31 years of success is our commitment to our individualized & science based approach as well as the desire to make a better world for all the children, removing barriers of prejudice and ignorance!

I see how much my daughter has progressed. After class she speaks in Spanish all afternoon with her sister. For her birthday she sang Happy Birthday in Chinese. Everybody was surprised, even her Chinese friend!

I didn’t realize what a precious gift I was given until later when my knowledge of Spanish and French and my interest in foreign language and diversity really began to set me aside from my peers.
