New Environment, New Learning Opportunities!

In this rapidly changing environment, the teachers at Bend Language Institute are working together to adjust to our community’s language learning needs. Due to concerns over COVID-19, we will not be holding in-person classes or workshops for the months of March and April. We take social distancing very seriously and want to help protect the health of our community members. However, this doesn’t mean that we have to stop learning!

We have developed a few different programs and opportunities to keep both adults and youth mentally and physically active. In addition, we are offering “drop-in” sessions to learn more about learning remotely using tools such as Zoom and get the opportunity to meet our different language teachers. Let’s keep learning and continue to support our local teachers!

Our new programs include:
• Remote One-to-One Tutoring
• Discounted Youth Remote Tutoring in Spanish
• Remote Youth Small Group Spanish Classes (grades 6-9)
• Remote Spanish for Kids (grades 2-5)

Want to learn more about distance education? Come join us remotely to learn about online technologies and meet the teachers!
