Spanish Curriculum

Available throughout our K-8 program.

Learning a second language is proven to give your child a leg up across every aspect of life.

The cognitive benefits of learning a second language are well researched.
Studies show that it increases executive functioning, problem solving, and mental flexibility.
Bilingual students outscore their monolingual peers in standardized testing, and they maintain focused attention better than other students.
A second language also gives students broader career and life opportunities as adults and the skills to travel and connect with the world as global citizens.

Cultivating a learning atmosphere centered on intellectual inquiry and student engagement
