Course Overview

Spanish helps students gain knowledge and understanding of the language and cultures of Spanish-speaking countries.

Suited for students of all experience levels, this program utilizes several techniques to support learning, from Rosetta Stone to local field trips.

Learning by Grade Level

Grades 5–6

In Grades 5–6, students begin to develop knowledge of the Spanish language and culture in a fun and interactive way, introducing themselves to the main areas of second-language acquisition:

  • Speaking
  • Listening
  • Reading

Grades 7–9

With a foundation of Rosetta Stone software, supported by weekly conversation check-ins, language-focused activities, cultural celebrations, and a local field trip related to Spanish-speaking cultures, students will gain proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Grades 7–9 Spanish.

Grades 10–12

In Grades 10–12, students develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Spanish-speaking cultures, build confidence in communicating with Spanish speakers, and enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills through language-related projects and activities.
