The Middle School Spanish teacher reports to the Middle School Director and collaborates with other Middle School teachers. The Middle School places a strong emphasis on habits of learning, which include a growth mindset, personal responsibility, communication, and organization.
Students in fifth through seventh grade study Spanish, and the courses are designed to expose students to the Spanish language and culture. When students reach eighth grade, they have the option of choosing Spanish I, French I, or Latin I for high school credit. Though often the Spanish I course is taught by the Upper School Spanish teacher, occasionally the Middle School Spanish teacher has the opportunity to teach it.
