Host Nation Logo
Host Nation education is designed to provide elementary school students with a cross-cultural program to instill in students an appreciation and understanding of the culture of the country in which they are located. Students acquire second language skills in play and work situations where meaningful contextual communication is necessary and desired. Students also acquire a deeper understanding of cross cultural diversity and a greater understanding of their social environment of the host nation.

Students will use the language of the host nation to speak and respond to simple questions and directions on familiar topics with level-appropriate fluency, identify cultural characteristics and important people, holidays and geographical areas.
  • Standard I: Language acquisition across the K-6 programs follows the same standard and builds upon previous knowledge in order to integrate, extend, refine and apply skills. The student will use the host nation language in familiar situations to enhance oral communication skills and vocabulary development.
  • Standard II: The cultural components differ for each grade level in congruence with social studies themes and incorporate other subjects and topics at age appropriate levels.
