Principal of the International School of Louisiana Laura Adelman-Cannon said, “We want all of our children to have access to a world-class education where they can not only learn about other cultures but speak the language. Our children here are speaking French, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, which gives them access to culture, music, access to food, and you can’t do that without language.”
