Lower School Spanish
Middle School Spanish
In these courses, students will learn Spanish by doing! The objective of it is to allow students to communicate in real-life situations. Students will develop the language they need to interact confidently in Spanish. They will have the opportunity to know the richness and diversity of cultures that compose the language, with nearly 600 million speakers around the world and more than 50 million in the United States.
Students will be immersed in real-life scenarios, so they need to develop higher-level thinking skills. This will include listening, memorizing and repeating, and developing skills to communicate. Students will also progress on their learning strategies to expand their language skills. The course is designed to engage students through their interests in order to be socially and emotionally relevant. And last but not least, students will develop their perceptions of the world by raising awareness of different cultures and the inseparability of language and culture.
