Wow! Too bad The Foreign Language Magnet School at South Philadelphia High School's program was killed during Paul Vallas' tenure.
For 35 years on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00 PM and Saturday Mornings from 9:00 AM-12 PM, anyone no matter their age could come and learn nearly 15 Foreign Languages absolutely FREE. They ranged from Levels One to Four and Conversational Classes. I recall, (after much deliberation), when we added Arabic and Mandarin. Not enough support. Well, so it goes... There is an Arabic Language School at the Mosque at 45th & Walnut, but I do not know the particulars or the cost or whether one has to be a Muslim.
