Spanish I

Spanish I will equip your high school students to master the Spanish language! More than 450 million people in the world speak Spanish, making it second only to Chinese in terms of the most spoken languages in the world. English is just behind, with approximately 360 million native speakers. This is also a Critical Language, meaning it is important to U.S Trade, Diplomacy, or Security. Students with a second language earn more scholarship dollars and are more marketable. It’s doable to learn a second language and encouraged, particularly as your student will live in a dynamic and ever-changing economy that will require diverse skills!

A different language is a different vision of life. ~Federico Fellini

One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.  ~Frank Smith
