The World Language Program at Irving School introduces students to the basics of the target language and culture and develops the necessary skills for elementary comprehension. The relaxed class environment helps students learn to overcome any reticence in voicing target languages. Language skills will grow over years of instruction. The goal is to develop a comfort and familiarity with the language.

For 2012-2013, the World Language Program has expanded its offerings to 8 languages: Swahili, Portuguese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish. In order to accommodate the program to all students, some classes will run for 1 hour every week with all ages while other will be twice a week with the same age group.

The World Language Program is completely independent, funded solely by tuition paid by families of participating children. World Languages are sponsored by the PTO, endorsed by the School Board, and encouraged by the staff and principal of Irving School.

Hi Parents!

Our after school Homework Club is looking for some parent volunteers!  Homework Club is for 4th and 5th grade students who are recommended by their teachers for some extra tutoring and homework help.  We are at capacity but have more students who would benefit from this opportunity.  We are looking for 2-3 parents who can commit to volunteering every Monday and/or Thursday from 3:00-4:00pm from now through April.  Parents would work with a small group of 2-3 students on their homework.  In addition, we have a few younger siblings who come with their older siblings.  If you are able to make this commitment, please email Ms. Noonan at knoonan@op97.org.  Please specify whether you are available Mondays, Thursdays or both.  Email Ms. Noonan with any questions.  Thank you!
