World Language Program 

Take advantage of this great opportunity to learn Spanish from an accredited teacher in a small class setting. Lessons are led by Señora Lopez.

We are thrilled that our teacher Ms. Natalia Lopez is joining us again.  Sra. Lopez has taught in diverse settings for over twenty years including at the IMF and in a Montessori elementary setting, giving her a wonderful background in differentiated learning for our mixed age students.  The program consists of 40 class sessions and runs from October to early-April. Please note that this program is organized by the PTA but operates independently with the instructor.
