It consists of a thorough review of all of the major Spanish grammatical structures, reading and discussion of literature in Spanish, essay writing, full immersion in the Spanish language, frequent tests, and in-depth study of Spanish speaking cultures. This course culminates in the taking of the Advanced Placement Exam in Spanish Language. (Note: if enrollment is not sufficient to offer a separate class, only those students who receive teacher approval will complete the above work independently or prepare independently for the Advance Placement Exam in Spanish Language)
