All of the children at NCCL study Spanish, from Kindergarten through eighth grade. After 9 years of constant exposure to the Spanish language, it is our goal that students leave NCCL with a strong foundation and most importantly a strong interest in continuing their language studies.
For the younger half of the school, Spanish class is 45-60 minutes a week and the focus is Spanish vocabulary and culture. During class time students are exposed to a wide variety of vocabulary, often piggy-backing their current classroom topics. They practice using those words through art, games, puzzles, and oral activities.
