At Our Lady of Fatima School our goal is to cultivate the love of learning a foreign language. The Spanish department sees in each student the potential for learning Spanish and believes that it will be most valuable for the students to begin this endeavor at a young age. Kindergarten through eighth grade students has Spanish classes weekly, studying the language from a cultural perspective.Spanish is considered an academic course. It includes both spoken and written components, grammar, reading, and a simple study of the culture and geography. 

Spanish classes include:

• exposure to the traditions and cultures of various Spanish countries

• learning everyday phrases

• application of grammar through creating dialogues and writing paragraphs

• the use of laptop computers for visual and audio stimulation
