Language
Classes
Introductory Spanish, French and Latin classes are offered to students
in grades 6-8 respectively during the regular classroom schedule. Students
will be introduced to all three languages over those three years. This
program was initiated in order that the student makes an intelligent
decision with regard to his/her choice of language in high school.
