Hola!  Bienvenidos!  Vamos a Aprender el Espanol!

Come join the fun and excitement in our Spanish classes as we embark on an
unforgettable journey to learn and explore the Spanish language and
culture.  Through an array and wealth of interactive and creative teaching
and learning opportunities, we guarantee a valuable, useful, comfortable
and most enjoyable learning experience for everyone.

As our students are very articulate and expressive, we welcome their
enthusiasm, motivation, eagerness and committment into the foreign
language classroom.  These qualities are prerequisites for life-long
learning and for recognizing the multicultural diversity in our society.

Currently, we offer a three(3) year sequence of study in Spanish.  We
provide an atmosphere for second language learning that embraces the
students' artistic and individual expression and mutual respect.  Our
students master the necessary speaking, listening, reading and writing
skills from a basic to an advanced level through small-group and
student-centered instruction.  In addition to the required unit exams,
homework and classwork, students prepare and create dialogues and other
communicative activities and presentations.  Furthermore, students prepare
and write compositions and essays that reflect a variety of regents-based
writing tasks as well as cultural topics in Spanish.

Through this educational and yet meaningful journey, our students
experience every flavor of learning that will help them acquire the
essential knowledge and appreciation of the Spanish language and culture. 
As a result, not only will our students successfully pass the Spanish
Regents, but they will be able to communicate and work effectively in a
sophisticated, global and international environment.
