The Spanish Enrichment Program at Highland Park introduces students to Spanish and the Spanish-speaking culture. I hope to encourage students to pursue the study of Spanish, gaining a familiar understanding of it in order to help them as they progress to middle and high school.Highland Park parents and faculty established the Spanish program in the Spring of 1992 because of a belief in the linguistic and cultural value of studying a second language, and of beginning the study in school as soon as possible. A Spanish exposure curriculum is offered at Highland Park for students in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. Students receive one Spanish lesson per week of approximately 30-45 minutes.

Goals 

There are four goals of the Highland Park Spanish program:

  • Communication – the student communicates in Spanish
  • Cultures – the student gains knowledge and understanding of other cultures
  • Connections – the student connects with other disciplines and acquires information
  • Comparisons – the student develops insight into the nature of language and culture
