Spanish I-V
Most schools have programs that balance oral, listening, reading and writing skills during these 4 formative years. The curriculum is well-structured during this time, and covers thematic cultural units with very specific vocabulary. However, many students can struggle due to the emphasis on the acquisition and mastery of grammatical concepts. With our support students can succeed and be placed at an Honors, or AP level if that is their academic language goal.
Spanish Honors
This course pace is faster and concentrates on the introduction of advanced grammatical concepts. Students will read more authentic texts which difficulty may vary, and will have opportunities to improve their listening and writing skills according to the grammar and vocabulary presented in class. Most teachers also include literary readings from prominent Spanish and Latin American authors.
AP Spanish Language

At the same time, students continue to review advanced grammatical structures for the purpose of communication. Course Content
