The Spanish program not only teaches students to speak a
foreign language, it helps them see the value of it. Student
achievement is developed in four areas: listening, speaking,
reading and writing. We also seek to increase knowledge of
the culture of the countries in which the language is spoken
and to support the school’s multicultural curriculum.
Students learn through music, dances, children’s literature,
art, videos, theatre and games. All of these activities foster
a strong working vocabulary, understanding and pronunciation
of Spanish.
