Language and Culture

Pre-K, Alpha, Kindergarten, Omega, Grades 1, 2, 3

What can we learn about Spanish-speaking cultures through their art, music, and traditions?

Beginning in Pre-Kindergarten, through songs, stories, and hands-on projects, boys explore the art, music, and traditions of Spanish-speaking cultures. They study artists from Spain and Latin America, celebrate customs, and listen to music from around the world—all while building language skills and cultural understanding.

How does learning Spanish connect with and deepen my understanding of what I’m learning in other subjects?

Our Spanish program aligns with what boys are learning elsewhere in the curriculum, helping them see familiar topics in new ways and make connections that deepen understanding.

How can I use what I know to figure out what I don’t know?

In daily immersion Spanish classes, boys identify familiar words, spot patterns, and use clues, along with trial and error to decode new phrases. It’s an engaging way to take risks, make connections, and grow as curious, confident learners.
