Science, Language & Arts International School Expands Programs

BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Science, Language & Arts International School (SLA) has officially moved into a new, larger location. SLA is an independent Nursery to Grade 8 school in Brooklyn, focused on the hands-on integration of science, arts, and math and providing children with a rich multilingual education in French and Mandarin.  The new location, a standalone building in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn, is an exciting step that will support growing programs and expand opportunities within the community and greater Brooklyn.

"We are building an international learning center with language and cultural programming for children and adults, with the school at its core," said Jennifer Wilkin, Director.  "SLA is launching school-day, after-school, and weekend programming for children in fall 2018 and launching ALL-NEW programs for adults in the winter of 2018/19."

A sampling of offerings will include:

• Immersive language classes (children and adults)
• Language immersive activities
• Tutoring
• Adult-and-baby/toddler activities
• Cultural programs (films, lectures, festivals)
• Birthday parties

Since its founding in 2011, SLA has grown at a tremendous rate, expanding in grade levels and language tracks offered each year. By 2024, SLA will realize its goal to become a full French and Mandarin immersion Nursery to Grade 8 school with a full menu of language and cultural programming outside of the school day for children and adults.

Attend an upcoming information session to learn about SLA's unique approach or sign up for a summer session to experience the program firsthand.

Locations:
Main Campus in Downtown Brooklyn (NEW!)
Early Childhood Annex in Carroll Gardens

Note: Substantial academic scholarships are now available for French-speaking applicants in Grades 2–5 and Mandarin-speaking applicants in Pre-K for the 2018-19 school year
