In lower school the focus is on building communicative competence
and literacy in Spanish and Latin-American cultures. Essential foundational
components are taught to enable students to appreciate their own
rich and diverse culture.
In middle school students are prepared for meaningful language experiences
in Latin, French, and Spanish. Through Latin, students maximize their
knowledge of English grammar, hone their reasoning skills, appreciate
ancient literature and cultures, and discover historical and linguistic
connections to their everyday lives. When studying French or Spanish,
students relate to the broader global community, adopt another language
as a vehicle for communicating, increase cross-cultural understanding
and reject ethnocentrisms. |
