Our Spanish curriculum is aligned to national standards for the teaching of world languages with the purpose of building student proficiency in speaking, listening, and written communication. Students make connections beyond the classroom walls and learn how foreign language helps them expand perspectives, build cultural competence, and interact in multilingual communities. Our goal is for students to move beyond learning language as an academic subject to become proficient users of the language.
Music
Our music program provides rich learning experiences in which students understand and apply the elements of music, experiment with musical instruments and technology, and express themselves creatively. Teachers present a balanced, sequential, and experiential framework to provide opportunities to create, perform, and respond to music in order to develop musical appreciation and ability.

Our visual arts program combines various mediums to help students develop techniques and create art to convey their ideas. Teachers promote development of essential skills such as critical and analytical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity by teaching the production of art, appreciation of art in our history, critical assessment of art, and the connections within disciplines and the world.
