Brooklyn Nihongo Gakuen is a Japanese Heritage Language School founded in the culturally diverse community of Brooklyn, New York in 2011. The goal of the program is to provide Japanese heritage students with a meaningful learning experience so that they will become an autonomous learner of 」apanese and grow to appreciate their Japanese heritage. The school's thematic integrated curriculum has been designed to correlate with the New York Curriculum. This allows students to share their common academic knowledge in both English and Japanese to develop a deeper understanding from different perspectives. This program promotes a learning environment by creating interactive activities between students and their parents at home and more hands-on activities in the classroom to foster a "child centered approach". This paper focuses on the Heritage Japanese Program in Brooklyn by portraying the students'diverse linguistic environment based on the survey and the practice of effective heritage curriculums.
