It's time to think about fall classes....

Our fall classes will begin mid-September....now is the time to register for the best selection!  We offer classes for beginner through advanced students, in 16 different languages.  Check out the interactive fall catalog here!

A Cultural Exchange

Our classes are not all about listening, speaking, reading, and writing--culture is an important aspect of learning a language, and we weave it into all of our classes.Thu Schaeffer's Intermediate French I class hosted visitors from Toulouse, in the south of France, for an evening of cultural exchange.  Students were able to practice their French skills, and the French visitors were able to practice their English.  It was a fun and entertaining evening. 

And they're off....

A nod to the jockeys, trainers, owners, and racing fans from around the world.  We at CCBC also embrace the international spirit, offering classes in more than 14 world languages, from basic to advanced levels. Check out our summer catalog of classes here.
