This course is designed for students who have no background or previous interactions with the Spanish language. It is recommended that native speakers of Spanish choose different electives to explore other interests. Native Spanish speakers will have the opportunity to register to take the Credit by Demonstration of Mastery (CDM) exam in their 8th grade year. Successful completion of the CDM exam can award a student with up to 2 World Language Credits that count towards high school graduation requirements. Please contact me or Ms. Corey if you would like more information about this exam!
