Bilingual Kids Seattle: Spanish Language!

(K-5TH Grade, Min 10/Max 18)

Students will learn and practice the second most common language in the U.S., after English. From its importance in the workplace to its impact on global culture, learning Spanish is a decision that can open doors and enrich lives. Students will also benefit from language learner outcomes such as a) support for higher academic achievement and the development of cognitive skills and b) a greater global understanding of our world and access to another culture to see things from a new perspective. This is an immersion class consisting of a section of language instruction in an academic setting and a section of Arts & Crafts activities in Spanish that provides a fun environment to practice and learn new words in real context. *Please note that if an instructor becomes available, we MAY add an additional class on Monday. If we do this, Spanish will be a 2-day per week experience, and the total cost will be $598 ($662 with tax).
