Spanish Classes

Research has shown that bilinguals and multilinguals tend to be more creative thinkers than those who speak one language. One study suggests that speaking multiple languages sharpens brain functions as individual ages. In our increasingly global world, parents realize that their children will benefit from knowing more than one language. The earlier a second language is introduced, the easier it will be for the child to reproduce its unique sounds. Two- and 3-year-olds are not only increasing their vocabularies, but they are also starting to recognize the speech patterns they have been hearing since birth. The earlier a second language is heard, the more effortless it will be for a child to learn the language. Beginning in our Toddler Program, children are exposed to both English and Spanish and are offered the option of a Spanish Immersion class or an English/Spanish bilingual class. In our Primary program (3–6 year-olds), students are offered Spanish as a daily class to develop vocabulary and conversational skills
