In both the Spanish SL and HL courses, students use their experience in the language to learn, communicate and interact exclusively in Spanish. In these dynamic language courses, students study relevant topics in our world through the Spanish language. They speak, write, and interact with classmates. The courses use media including songs, movies, and clips to inspire students to communicate. In addition, students will participate in movie studies, cultural engagement in the community, and literature studies as part of the experience.

The distinction between language SL and HL can be seen in the number of recommended teaching hours and the level of competency the student is expected to develop in receptive, productive, and interactive skills. The HL students are also required to study two literary works originally written in the target language.
