Languages
Language is one of the most important parts of any culture and society. It is how people communicate with one another, foster relationships, and create a sense of community. According to research, there are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today, and each is unique in a number of ways. Our schools are more diverse today with students from all over the world who speak different languages.
