]]> It’s time for another American Sign Language lesson and, in this video, we’re learning how to use signs for school in sign language!

In the deaf community, schooling is a HUGE part of life. Many deaf children and adults attend institutions that are specifically geared to the deaf and hard-of-hearing, so they make lifelong connections at these schools. Some deaf kids and adults, though, attend public schools where they receive instruction alongside hearing individuals with the aid of an interpreter.

Either way, learning how to use signs related to school is important if you’re going to try to talk about education or schooling with a deaf or hard-of-hearing person. And learning these signs can help!

How to Use Signs for School in Sign Language

In this video, you’ll learn the ASL signs for the following words:

  • School
  • Book
  • Homeschool
  • Homework
  • Graduation
  • Backpack
  • Math
  • Science
  • Reading
  • English
  • Writing
  • and History!

Just a quick note here: In ASL, the sign “English” typically does not refer to the school subject. It generally refers to the English language. Deaf people who are hard-of-hearing or who attend hearing schools, though, may use the sign for “English” to refer to the subject or the study of English lit.

Not many deaf kids are homeschooled (at least not that I know of), but since we’re homeschoolers, I had to include the sign for “homeschool”. And it’s a literal compound sign: the sign for “home” and the sign for “school” stuck together. 🙂
