Community Language School

The Community Language School is a wonderful inclusive environment where children are encouraged to discover and explore their heritage and culture as well as learning the language. My daughter is always eager to go to the class and I have already seen differences in her language ability.

Song, Mandarin class

Speaking as a parent from a Korean-English family, the course has proved to be a valuable opportunity, for the children to stay in touch with their Korean culture and for my partner to make social links with other Korean parents living in the York area. Thank you to all CLS team members for your passion, time and hard work.

Barker, Korean class

We recently found out about CLS, so we have done only a few classes but my daughter loves to attend. The teachers are so friendly and nice. We can't wait till September to start again!

Santana, Spanish class

My husband and I are incredibly grateful for the Community Language School. The dedicated teachers rekindled our daughters' love for speaking in their heritage language by making learning fun through engaging activities like games, crafts, and poster writing. The school is a true gem in the heart of York!

James-Razlaff, Japanese class

The Community Language School has provided an inclusive environment for the children to learn and be exposed to a new language. They have created a relaxed atmosphere and structured a programme of teaching that the children find fun and engaging. The course not only teaches them the language but also provides them with exposure to the culture of the country whose language they are learning. My daughter has enjoyed her lessons immensely and is very much looking forward to the new year of the course. As parents we have been grateful to the Community Language School for providing a safe, educational space for the children to pick up new skills in a new language and culture.
