Why learn a second language?

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.

Terra Marin offers Spanish as a second language for all K-8 students.
