Dear Parents:

The International School of Tucson is delighted to announce Russian-language immersion-workshops for children.

The first series will be :
  • aimed at children aged 3 – 5 +/- six months,
  • Beginners (no prior knowledge) / Elementary (some basic knowledge, including False Beginners)
  • oriented towards the spoken language
   and :
  • aimed at children aged 6 – 8 years old +/- six months
  • Elementary (some prior knowledge and some basic knowledge, including False Beginners) / Lower Intermediate (can speak but cannot yet read or write)
  • oriented towards the spoken language
  • introduction to pre-reading and pre-writing
Based on student and teacher responses, we may be able to schedule further/additional workshops, and where numbers allow, further narrow groupings by age and/or by level.

Fees

  • $100 per session if registered after 5:00 pm on the Wednesday prior to each session (or $25 per remaining meeting)
  • Fees include all supplies, although students will need a typical pencil case and contents, and a set of colouring pencils.
Numbers
  • Minimum 4 students (where the minimum number is not met by 5:00 pm on the Friday prior, the Session may be canceled in which case Fees will be credited.)
  • Maximum 16 students (where the maximum is reached, a “Waitlist” system will operate)
We can also arrange Sessions for other ages and levels, including reading- and writing-based sessions where the students can already speak Russian, depending on interest. Please contact us for more information.

If you are interested in any of these sessions, please contact us at info@internationalschooloftucson.org or (520)-406-0552 for a Registration Form.
