Our nationally recognized Spanish language team has developed special home activities for all students. We offer Spanish instruction for all grades, and every class visits Café Olé, the Spanish Lab, on a regular basis for enrichment activities.

This is a dedicated and quality early-learning Spanish program. Benefits of learning another language include broadening of our students understanding of cultures, strengthening grammatical skills in all languages (including English), and giving students an applicable skill in our modern globalized world.

Some Features of Our Program:
