At the Parke House Academy all students partake in the study of the Spanish language. Each grade has two classes per week consisting of vocabulary and cultural studies. The curriculum is adapted to fit the developmental needs of the age of the child. The younger children learn basic vocabulary while the older students build upon prior knowledge and begin basic conversation.

The language is taught through songs, games, manipulatives, projects and repetition. Students also enjoy cultural experiences such as making traditional foods, learning native dances, and creating artworks in the style of a specific country or artist. Geography and history are also part of our curriculum. 

The study of a foreign language is extremely beneficial to a child’s intellectual growth. At the Parke House Academy we strongly believe that the knowledge acquired while studying another culture will encourage our students to learn more about the world. Not only are they learning another language, they are learning about diversity and acceptance.
