Spanish Immersion in the High School
During high school, the secondary continuing phase of the Spanish Immersion program continues. Much like the transition from elementary to middle school, students transitioning from middle school to high school are growing cognitively and are in need of continued language study to ensure that students’ linguistic capacity supports the increasing cognitive demands required by each new grade level.
High school Spanish Immersion classes help students learn the language needed to debate, persuade, evaluate, critique, and create.
