Spanish is the world’s second most spoken language, with over 400 million speakers. It is an official language of 21 countries, the Organization of American States, and the United Nations. Through the Spanish curriculum, elementary and middle school students learn the basics of communication in this fascinating and useful language, while becoming better global citizens and more active players in the Western Hemisphere.

Students also learn about Hispanic culture, food, music, and dance. Many students enter the Spanish programme believing that all Hispanic culture is similar to that of their Caribbean destination of choice. Through the curriculum students learn about the great and unparalleled variety of music, food, clothing, customs, and even ethnic composition that is present from the northern deserts of Mexico and the Pyrenees mountains of Spain to the icy tundra of southern Patagonia. This is a great introduction to a language and culture that is full of life and that can open up a new world of opportunities.
