Accelerated Spanish Lessons

Heritage speakers who speak a high level of Spanish already will be completed an Independent Study track this year. The goal is for students to improve their writing and speaking skills enough to be able to receive test credit for as many courses as possible by the end of the year.

Los hablantes que tienen español como una “lengua materna” participarán en Estudios Independientes este año escolar. El objetivo es que los estudiantes mejoren sus habilidades de escritura y habla lo suficiente como para poder recibir crédito por tantos cursos posibles, determinados por los exámenes de fin de año.
