As the girls continue their language studies in Middle School, the World Languages Department centers its curriculum and classroom on diverse societies and global awareness. Our teachers encourage the exploration of the many people and places where Spanish is spoken while developing essential skills for communication.  We aim to enhance listening and speaking skills and to build reading and writing skills, all with an emphasis on promoting communicative proficiency. Our signature Latin program focuses on the culture and history of the Roman empire, the acquisition of vocabulary and the development of grammatical understanding providing students with meaningful insights into modern English.

  • Languages offered in the Middle School include French, Latin, Mandarin, and Spanish, which gives our students the opportunity to study the language of their choice.
  • In addition to their chosen modern language, students are required to study Latin for three full years beginning in Group VI.
  • Students engage in activities that foster the development of cultural and linguistic skills.
  • Teachers frequently and widely use age-appropriate digital media and authentic primary materials such as songs, games, videos and movies to enhance learning.
