7-8 Spanish

NLS offers Spanish to 7th and 8th graders. Spanish is highly recommended for all students to take in 7th and 8th grade, but not mandatory. Successful completion of 7th and 8th grade Spanish and passing the high school entrance exam in the spring of your 8th grade year will result in qualifying for Spanish II as a freshman in high school. This is a unique opportunity that has positive repercussions for college and beyond.

North Lake School is proud to announce its adoption of the Realidades Language Solutions by Pearson. This highly-acclaimed world language program combines research-based pedagogy with outstanding print and technology support. Our curricular goal is to build language proficiency and cultural understanding for the 21st Century.
