Renaissance Montessori’s Bilingual French, Spanish, Mandarin language immersion program provides a perfect opportunity for children to learn a second language in a natural environment before the developmental window for language acquisition closes. 

Renaissance Montessori “World of Languages” Classes.  We use the Montessori Method and educational philosophy to teach French, Spanish and Mandarin. Dr. Montessori taught us to “follow the child” which is true when teaching any subject, including foreign languages. We take the child from where he/she is in any subject and then intoduce new material when the child is ready to learn it. That means that beginners as well as advanced students benefit the most from our one of a kind program. Immersion does not need to be stressful since the child can learn in a natural way and at her own pace. There is no competition, no failure and only success. Children do not need to have a Montessori background to excel in one of our language programs.

Lego Action Jrs. Camps

 This camp is for the younger Lego fan who is just getting into Lego’s. Builders will learn building skills and create free building projects such as race cars, animals, farms, mosaics and whatever inspires them. Action Lego’s puts fun in motion as students learn how to use gears, motors, potential energy and balance in order to build numerous contraptions. Throughthe excitement of building our summer camp builders understand how gears translate motion and how different kinds of energy can propel vehicles and machines. After each building project, builders customize, share and enjoy playing with their projects. The end of each day of camp is a favorite time for all the campers because each one gets to explain his/her project to the other campers. They are so proud of their creations that they are motivated to build more inventive contraptions every day. We also teach all campers the Lego games and take them to the park for outside play time time. We provide snacks every day and campers who stay for lunch bring their own lunches. Renaissance has a nut free policy.

                           Renaissance Summer Language/Cultural Camp Overview

115 Park Avenue, Falls church, VA 22046   703-244-0585 montessorieducate@yahoo.com

The Renaissance Language/Cultural Camps consist of 8 one-week sessions from June 25th to August 24th. The Full Day program is from 9am to 4pm or Half Day is from 9am to 12pm or 1pm to4pm.

Foreign language study is an important step toward becoming an educated citizen, and childhood is that time of life when language acquisition is most rapid. It is easiest to learn a foreign language during childhood. The teaching method is equally important. We have a commitment to teaching students with respect and we offer more than “entertainment” to do this. We “follow the child” which means that when each student is developmentally ready, we take the opportunity to maximize that opportunity.

What your child will learn:

 Campers learn to love the language and come away with a basic vocabulary and conversational speaking skills that they acquire by speaking in unstructured conversations with the instructor and with other campers. Our Language and Art Summer Camp is a small-sized camp with a maximum of 8 students who are viewed by our teachers as individuals. 

Each student will receive personalized treatment, provided with love and care. Our goal for the program is to teach the children basic communication skills while they are having fun with a variety of hands-on activities and games. What is the Renaissance Summer Camp Philosophy? We understand that kids want to have fun during the summer. That’s why we offer a diverse program that seamlessly integrates learning with stimulating arts, games, and cooking activities, literature, drama, music and dance, etc.

This Art and Spanish/Cultural Language Immersion Summer Camp in Falls Church, combines summer fun, hands – on creative activities and classroom language instruction. For summer 2012, the following enrichment curriculum will be offered during camp using the target language:

 Music,  Movement and Dance, Outdoor Activities at Cherry Hill Park, Grace and Courtesy, Cultural Activities, Jewelry Making, Creative Crafts (painting, art), Mask making, Kite making, Ceramic painting, Story-telling, Creative Writing, Poetry, Drama, Spanish Language Arts, and cooking food related to the culture.  Awesome Spanish Vacation… Introduces Spanish via the history, culture and geography of the countries where Spanish is spoken.

 The Art and Mandarin/Cultural Language Summer Camp is designed for children  through 4th grade. This program will give them a unique opportunity to learn and improve their language skills in Mandarin, while deepening their knowledge of Chinese culture and art through age appropriate play-based classes and activities in Mandarin. Students will experience Chinese language and culture through a wide variety of traditional and cultural activities such as singing, drawing, Chinese calligraphy; Chinese brush painting, arts and crafts, and drama. The students participate in classes conducted in Mandarin that include such culturally rich experiences such as playing the yaogu (the Chinese waist drum), Chinese folk songs and poetry, and many more cultural activities. From Fireworks to Fortune Cookies… Intro to Mandarin through the customs of China’s 1000′s of years of amazing culture… from the inventions to the traditions.

 he Art and French/Cultural Language Camp is designed for children through fourth grade. Art activities, dance, outdoor experiences in the park, trips to the library, drama, music, games and more enable our students to immerse themselves in conversation during the day in all of their activities.  We will explore the regions of France and during our Awesome French Vacation…which Introduces French via the history, culture and geography of many French Speaking countries. We call the French Camp the Renaissance Tour de France… Each day we visit a different region; its food, culture & language.
