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, Italian, and Spanish. The exploratory
curriculum in French, 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 trimester. At the end of 5th grade,
each student will decide to begin the study of
French, Italian or to continue with the study of
Spanish.
