Students begin work on the four skills required for learning a foreign language: listening, speaking,
reading and writing. They will understand and produce the language, develop the four skills to meet survival
needs in the classroom, react in a limited fashion in social situations, understand and answer in one
sentence in oral and written form, and respond with some spontaneity to an oral question or situation. The
content commonly includes: greetings, descriptions, sports, school, hobbies, time, weather, feelings and
family relations. The Spanish culture is also taught. This course requires much memorization and daily
preparation.

Humanities Academy Spanish Courses
The Humanities Academy is a program that allows students to take humanities courses (English, history, Spanish) in an academy setting. The goals of the Academy are to create close connections between students, teachers, parents, and the community; to give students more consistency in expectations and continuity in curriculum; and to use performance as a basis for assessment and evaluation. The Humanities Academy focuses on the acquisition of cultural knowledge, values,and wisdom essential for the well-rounded individual in the 21st century.
In Humanities, Freshmen have the option of Spanish 1. Sophomores take the appropriate level of Spanish. Juniors have the option of Spanish 2. Humanities requires two consecutive years of Spanish at some point over four years. This program is rigorous but is not just for college bound students. It was created for self-directed students who are serious about their education and who want some flexibility in their daily schedule and course work.
The 9th and 10th grade programs will be primarily on campus, while the 11th and 12th graders will have core
subjects on campus as well as opportunities to work on projects outside of the traditional classroom.
