World Language Program 

Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn French or Spanish from accredited teachers in a small class setting. Lessons are led by a world language provider from Language Instruction and Translation (LIT). Tuckahoe and LIT have enjoyed a successful partnership for 15 years! 
 
LIT is offering French and Spanish classes this year. We are excited to offer these two world languages! 
 
The LIT Program is a great opportunity for students to learn a world language at an early age or continue with previous students. It is an ideal opportunity for students to expand their world language skills in light of the elimination of FLES.
 
The deadline to register and provide check payment is Friday, October 13 (by noon).
