The Advanced Spanish curriculum at The Lyceum focuses on the current B.E.S.T. Standards. The course content equivalent to the Spanish I course taught at the high schools in Alachua County. Students may opt for high school credit upon completion of this course as long as they earn a grade of A or B in each semester of 8th grade and pass the comprehensive county test for Spanish I. A majority of Lyceum students typically earn this high school credit although some students opt to forgo the credit in lieu of weighted foreign language courses available at the high school.

The course focuses on speaking and culture. Students practice speaking every day in class and the culture of all Spanish speaking countries is studied. We have many activities related to music, food, dances, and customs. We integrate the culture and history of Hispanics into the curriculum of all the other courses in the Lyceum. We culminate this in an International Fair that encompasses not only the Spanish speaking countries, but all the other countries represented in our student body.

For extra curricular activities, we have a Spanish Club that meets to promote speaking Spanish and the further understanding of all the Hispanic cultures.
