We’re excited to announce that we’re running a new Cohort in October. For Spanish classrooms, we will find you a partner! For other World Languages, invite a partner and we will pair you. We can accommodate almost any language. 

What is a Level Up Village Cohort?

Level Up Village has launched a brand-new and easy-to-use platform with engaging, collaborative courses. For this October, Level Up Village will pair registered teachers and their classrooms with teachers and classrooms in another country. This Cohort of paired classrooms, for students ages 12-18, will take part in 4- to 8-week global exchanges with brand new course content to choose from. The exchanges will be half in the target language and half in English. Guided by our leveled Languages & Cultures course content and student-friendly technology, students will make memorable connections with global peers and deepen their understanding of other cultures.
