"crossing borders has proven to be an advantageous program to be a part of"

I have been giving an oral Spanish assessment for the past twenty-three years at Mark Twain Elementary School in an effort to determine if the student is a fluent Spanish speaker. For many years we have had applications from students that were attending Crossing Borders seeking entrance into the dual language program. Over the past three years, I have noticed a significant difference in the amount of Spanish that is being retained by children coming from Crossing Borders. Both orally, receptive, and expressive oral language have drastically improved. Further-more, the children are coming in to the dual language program with the ability to read in Spanish, a basic skill that is typically mastered by the end of kindergarten. From the perspective of a dual language coordinator and a kindergarten teacher at Mark Twain, Crossing Borders has proven to be an advantageous program to be a part of.

Children gain an experiential understanding of other people, their traditions, and their countries. This understanding facilitates language learning, and for many kids, it gives them the desire and confidence to explore other countries and study or work abroad.

"If success is simply measured by the ease with which a child will happily do something, Crossing Borders was a hit from the start. Naturally a few tears during the first few weeks, but no reluctance and throughout, an enthusiasm to attend and participate. The children were well cared for in a safe environment and made friends they will continue to see, even after their departure to Kindergarten."

4worldlovers: Learning with Top Language is not only a matter of learning new sounds or new words, or grammatical structures, it is about being more: being more competent, and more socially and culturally aware. It is not only talking; it is getting into knowing and experiencing the culture.


This is our formula for teaching you to speak a new language directly, naturally and truly feeling it!

​The result: a more authentic and honest connection with other people that comes from the understanding.
