Language Department Growing and Thriving

Language is a rich component of the academic experience at Ben Lippen School! Our dedicated language department team brings years of teaching experience and is outstanding in their targeted skills.

This year, we are excited to announce that beginning as early as Pre-K3, our students are offered a complete study of Spanish with the option of continuing with the language through middle and high school finishing up with Spanish III Honors and/or AP Spanish.

Students in grades 7 through 12 have the option of studying either Spanish or French. Our French language program continues through French III Honors.

For our international students, we have excellent English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers who have years of experience teaching in foreign countries and right here at Ben Lippen. Their role is to prepare our international students with the English language skills needed for success in their academic studies.

We are blessed with outstanding teachers who love language, love our students, and love the Lord!
