The middle school world languages program is
composed of an exploratory experience in the fifth
grade and an opportunity for formal language study
in the language of their choice in grades 6-8. The
exploratory program provides every student with the
opportunity to explore four modern languages -
French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The
exploratory curriculum in French, German, and
Italian integrates common aspects of the target
language within a thematic, cultural context. In
Spanish, the students will reenter and build upon
their elementary experience in Spanish within a
student-centered, thematic context. In all of the
languages, emphasis is placed on the practical
aspects of language and culture with an activity
approach to language learning to allow all students
to experience success. Each language is studied
twice a week for one marking period. At the end of
5th grade, each student will decide to begin the
study of French, German or Italian or to continue
with the study of Spanish.
