The school is designed to give students the opportunity to become bilingual, and it is home to an incredibly diverse student body.<\/p>\n<p>The faculty coordinators are currently seeking to establish the club as a service-learning program so that students may use their service hours to gain credit towards the UCF Service Learning certificate.<\/p>\n<p>The current program offers an immensely beneficial experience on its own.
