Spanish

The Spanish program is an important part of our academic picture. At VMS we are dedicated to expanding your child's view of the world and encouraging life-long learning. Learning another language helps improve communication skills, connect students with other cultures, build stronger sense of community, and offer long-term opportunities.

Spanish in Our Programs

We introduce Spanish to Primary students through songs, numbers, and colors. Children at this age are eager to learn and absorb the information quickly.

 

In the Lower Elementary program, the goal is for the children to have fun with the language and develop a genuine love for it. They learn basic vocabulary, letters and sounds, some conversation, and build their awareness of Hispanic culture.

 

As the children progress through the grades, the complexity and intensity of the instruction increases. In Upper Elementary, the students participate in Spanish twice a week and develop greater skills in conversation, reading, vocabulary, and grammar.

Spanish in Middle School

In Middle School, students attend Spanish four times a week and develop a greater understanding of the Spanish language. Middle School Spanish is a two-year program encompassing the elements of reading, writing, and speaking the language. Our goal is to integrate and connect all three elements: working on projects, grammar and reading/comprehension, and vocabulary.

 

The Spanish program strives to follow the student’s sense of curiosity by creating an environment that allows the student to work independently. At the end of the student’s middle school year, they are prepared to transition into High School and a second language.
