METHODOLOGY
Readiness
We believe in meaningful learning: children learn better when they are physically, mentally, and emotionally ready to learn, not when they are compelled to do so. Our interactive classes engage children so that learning develops naturally.
differentiation
Living the Language uses a differentiation methodology which places students into small groups with other children who have similar learning styles: auditory, visual, sensory, etc. This method has been proven to maximize children’s learning opportunities because the teacher's efforts are focused on each child's individual learning style.

Our methodology takes into consideration the behavioral learning theory and the three laws of learning: readiness, exercise and effect, generally applicable to the learning process.
