We are best known for our summer camp experience, during which more than 4,000 young people from across the United States and around the world immerse themselves in language and culture.

A Language Village is both a place and a frame of mind. Unlike any other program of its kind, our participants, called “villagers,” take part in a grand simulation where they immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and tastes of a different culture. Villagers use yen or euros or RMB at the Village store, take on a new name, and live the language within the cultural context of another country. It’s more fun (and interesting) to speak French while eating baguette, or Chinese while eating dumplings. Everything that happens in the Village supports the language and cultural immersion principles. A Language Village is a place where villagers can live the language for a weekend, a week, two weeks or longer.

Programs meet a variety of objectives related to linguistic proficiency, cultural competency, and positive engagement in local and global communities. The four-week high school credit programs are the equivalent of one year of high school language instruction. Students who are 18 years of age or younger and are entering grade 9, 10, 11, or 12 are eligible to enroll. A student who has graduated from high school and is still 18 years of age or younger, but who has not yet fully matriculated into college, is also eligible to register. High school credit programs support students’ learning needs in public and private schools, homeschooling environments, IB diploma programs, language immersion schools, and those seeking alternative learning environments and credentials, such as the Seal of Biliteracy and Global Education Achievement Certificate. The programs also boost skills beneficial for AP courses and exams.

Participants learn in small groups that typically range in size from four to eight students.

  • Summer at Concordia Language Villages
    Welcome to Summer at Concordia Language Villages Dear Villager Family, Welcome to the 2018 summer learning adventure that is Concordia Language Villages! We know you have invested in this opportunity for your child because you strongly believe developing global competencies at an early age makes a real difference in who they become and how they see their future. And what better way to spend a childhood summer. We are honored to have your trust and confidence. Families and educators across the country continue to discuss 21st century skills and what is needed to prepare for a successful future. At Concordia Language Villages, we find a perfect complement between our mission and the 21st century skills of language learning, global awareness and environmental literacy, while encouraging the development of your child’s learning and innovation skills. A recent study requested by Congress on the state of learning language in the United States, released by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, reinforces the urgency and importance of language learning for this and future generations. The ‘grand simulation’ of Concordia Language Villages programs creates a learning community that fosters curiosity, confidence and global competence in every “villager.” That learning community includes native speaking staff, culturally authentic food, games, music, sports, festivals, history, traditions and literature, all combining in the daily life of a Language Village. This fun and engaging learning community is comprised of people who have experienced exactly what your villager will be experiencing. A staff-to-villager ratio of 1:4 allows for individual attention and sets the tone for general supervision, while allowing for personal development and gaining independence.

  • The Teleost Ichthyofauna from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar: Systematics, Distributions, and Implications for Gondwanan Biogoegraphy
    THE TELEOST ICHTHYOFAUNA FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR: SYSTEMATICS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GONDWANAN BIOGOEGRAPHY By Summer A. Ostrowski A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Geological Sciences 2012 ABSTRACT THE TELEOST ICHTHYOFAUNA FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR: SYSTEMATICS, DISTRIBTUTIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GONDWANAN BIOGEOGRAPHY By Summer A. Ostrowski Madagascar is known for its highly endemic Recent fauna. However, the full deep-time temporal context of Madagascar’s endemicity is not completely understood, due to the patchy fossil record of the island. The Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Maevarano Formation in northwestern Madagascar provide insight into this issue due to their rich vertebrate fauna, including dinosaurs, crocodylians, frogs, turtles, snakes, mammals, and fishes. The Maevarano Formation consists of fluvial and alluvial deposits and accompanying debris flows, and exhibits excellent fossil preservation. Fossil fishes from the formation represent coastal marine and freshwater taxa, some of which have been identified in earlier reports. This study focuses on identifying teleosts present within the Maevarano Formation, and the resulting implications for Gondwanan biogeography. The teleosts are first identified to the most precise taxonomic unit possible, and their distributions during the Late Cretaceous are analyzed. Several of the fish taxa present extend the known temporal and/or geographic
