Spanish
Spanish classes, based on
diocesan curriculum standards, provide what students need to
know of and about the language and culture of countries where
Spanish is the heritage language. The six strands of the Spanish
curriculum are: communication, culture, connections, comparisons,
and communities. The last strand identifies where the student will
use Spanish to reinforce the content learned in the area of
religion. This strand brings the doctrine and tradition of the
Catholic Church into the study of World Languages within our
rapidly changing and developing world.

classes in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade provide

Technology Standards guide efforts to enhance student
learning through the integration of technology and academics.
