INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM AT NORTHWEST ACADEMY
The Gilkey International High School Program consists of advanced, immersion-based language courses for students with a solid, high-level foundation of the language and the ability to read, analyze, and discuss literature and grade-level appropriate material in the language. These specialized year-long courses focus on increasing students' fluency and proficiency in reading, comprehension, as well as written and oral communication.
Critical thinking skills will be emphasized; students will be encouraged to express their own opinions, reflect on these opinions, and analyze opposing viewpoints. They will be exposed to a variety of topics drawn from literary pieces as well as current events and from a variety of sources. Students will continue to work on developing fluency (pace, rhythm, intonation, expanded vocabulary).
The year-long courses may be taken for high school credit and are located at NW Academy. Classes will be held during first period at 7:55 AM, four days a week (M,T,Th,F). Tuition is $2,800/year, and high school students from any high school or high school grade level are welcome to enroll.
For more information on these courses, please contact Emmanuelle Burk: (503) 292-7776 x602 .
French Students
This class will serve to prepare students to take the DELF/DALF exams up through B2. It will also serve as strong groundwork for students to enroll in a C1 (French DALF) preparation class, which is required to adequately prepare students to the specificities of this particular exam. The after school DELF/DALF programs will continue to be offered once a week on the FAIS campus for the students who are not able to enroll in the high school course.
