Piedmont Language School, Neighbor

Piedmont Language School is a non-profit organization founded more than 40 years ago by Piedmont parents. We offer classes in Spanish and Mandarin to children as young as pre-school to 6th grade. We have about 300 students per year learning languages and discovering cultures through our programs. Our classes are offered before and after-school, generally on-site at all Piedmont elementary schools and Piedmont Middle School locations. We are committed to bringing language to as many children as possible and offer scholarships for those in need.

In addition to our language programs, we champion language and culture in the community and we support the school district by raising funds to advocate best practices and innovative thinking in the classroom. This is similar to the model employed by the art & music support organizations in our community. We have provided research for the PMS, textbooks and materials to PHS and continue to offer funding for programs to supplement the curriculum with funding a field trip or special programs to promote all different cultures.
