What Our Students Learn
We don't just teach Spanish! Your child will learn about all kinds of topics and themes through Spanish. Here's a sample of some of the lessons our kids have learned about this year:
​
​
— science topics such as the human body and force and motion
— the American colonies, living on Mars, principles of chemistry
— seasonal changes like weather and climate and holidays
— festivals and holidays from around the Spanish-speaking world
— songs, games and dances from different Spanish-speaking countries
— music theory, appreciation, rhythm and instruments
— artists from Spanish-speaking countries and types of art from around the world
— stories, writing genres and poetry
​
Our topics are on a 3-year rotation so that students learn something new every year, and by the time they interact with a topic again, they're at a higher level with deeper, more exciting content.
