On Monday, March 21st 2016 nine LHS students of Russian had an opportunity to participate in the NJ Contest of Spoken Russian, held at Drew University, Madison, NJ. Our students won two gold, six silver, and one bronze medals.
The State Olympiada of Spoken Russian is a challenging, unique, and enjoyable event for all the students of varying levels, from 1 through 5, a Heritage Learner, and Native Speaker categories.
Throughout the years we have been able to establish a partnership with all New Jersey high schools that offer Russian as a foreign language. For our excellent performance we have gained trust and respect from national institutions and organizations, such as ACTR and AATSEEL.
Our Russian program was also recognized by several American universities. Their doors are open for the students who plan to pursue a career in the field of the Russian language and literature. Because of our longtime relationship with Drew University and our excellent achievements, Professor Carol Ueland, the head of the Russian Language Department, is inviting our students to continue studying the language under her supervision.
