At MCCPS, Spanish is the language of choice, and students begin formal study in Grade 4. From Grades 4–7, students explore Spanish twice a week, building a strong foundation in vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversational skills. In Grade 8, students engage in four classes per week, deepening their understanding of grammar and expanding their ability to communicate confidently in both written and spoken Spanish.

Lessons incorporate songs, games, storytelling, and real-life scenarios to make learning interactive and meaningful. Students gradually progress from basic expressions to complete sentences and accurate verb usage, applying their skills through projects and cultural exploration.

Our program ensures students develop the proficiency and confidence to continue Spanish study and to engage meaningfully in a global, interconnected world.
