Student Programs

Please contact us to add listings of Slavic and East European language programs for students in the Pacific NW region. These may be school-year or summer programs, long-term or short-term.

ROMANIAN

The Center of Excellence - Romanian in Action

The Center of Excellence ROMANIAN IN ACTION (ROACT) offers innovative virtual classes and workshops for children, youth and adults with Romanian background or with an interest to learn Romanian. Our teaching methods are based on the core principles of Heritage Language Education that nourish bilingualism and address holisitically the bi-cultural identity of our students through project-based activities, play, authentic sources, critical thinking, and meaningful interactions with their families and communities. Our students gain pride and confidence as heritage language speakers and learners of Romanian, while developing a global understanding of the world.

Due to the pandemic, we will hold our classes ONLINE. We welcome out of state students and will do our best to adjust our schedule to different time zones in the US. Please scroll down to find out more about our schedule.
