All levels of Spanish will be taught using a method of learning called the "Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling" method (TPRS). With this approach, the student acquires a foreign language much as we do our own native language: by listening before speaking, and learning vocabulary and grammar by example and usage. It is an exciting way to give students the GIFT of fluency. Spanish is an important language to study if you are considering a career in medicine, social work, law enforcement and many other careers.
