Kaumeya Language School

Venture Round in 2016
Kaumeya Language School Believes that a student should be educated in an atmosphere that strongly nurtures education, within an environment that supports and encourages the understanding and appreciation of their own and other cultures. Throughout the curriculum, we believe that a complete education requires not only a strong academic program but also a committed approach to education of the whole person including social. intellectual, emotional , aesthetic and physical development. Through this approach the school strives to teach students to think critically and acquire the learning skills, self -confidence, and self-discipline necessary to develop inquiring minds and to be a life-long learner in an increasingly complex and interdependent world. The result is that students will attain a positive self-esteem and realistic perception of their personal capabilities. Kaumeya Language school seeks to maintain a diverse community of students, faculty, and administrators. Staffing decisions, admissions policies and the financial aid programs are important components in maintaining a balanced multi-national and multicultural environment within the school. Through such a healthy and open learning milieu, it is our aim that both students and graduates of the school will be able to achieve their goals that will continue to reflect upon the philosophy of the school.
