Welcome to the World Language Department

Welcome to  River Islands High School World Language Department! Our mission is to ignite a passion for literature and writing in every student, fostering a lifelong love for learning and self-expression. 

Our dedicated team of educators strives to spark students inquisitive mode  about  language and culture which is all around us: our neighborhoods, our school, the media. Part of your out-of-class work will include experiencing the language and culture in action. As we delve deeper into the culture, you will be able to make Connections to yourself, other content and the world.  You will also make Comparisons and reflect on your own culture.

We aim to empower our students to become compassionate, empathetic, and articulate individuals who positively impact their communities and the world. 

Come, discover the joy of learning a new language or reinforcing your own native toungue with us at the River Islands High School World Language Department! Together, we will uncover the magic of various Spanish-speaking countries, exposing our students to cultural knowledge and compassion towards other communities.
