🌐 Two Unique Spanish Language Pathways:

1. 
   Heritage Learners Pathway:
   • Tailored for students proficient in Spanish.
   • Designed to deepen language skills.
   • Encourages deep exploration of Hispanic and Latino cultures throughout the world.
2. 
   Non-Heritage Learners Pathway:
   • Created for students new to Spanish.
   • Provides comprehensive language instruction.
   • Fosters cross-cultural appreciation.

📊 Pathways Based on Proficiency: Your child's language pathway will be determined by an entry assessment to verify Spanish proficiency at the time of enrollment. Most importantly, MS students do not need prior knowledge of Spanish to enroll. We support each child's unique language journey, whether they are proficient or just starting to explore the language.

Academic instruction will take place half of the time in English and half in Spanish. Students will learn to think critically and take action in their classrooms and communities through project based learning and by engaging in real life issues.
