Spanish

Spanish class is a required course in grades kindergarten through 8th. Dona Rebecca is assisted full-time by Costa Rica native Dona Gabi (pictured). Dona Rebecca recently returned from a teaching stint in Ecuador, South America, where she learned methods for teaching language acquisition that involved game-playing to aid memorization, repetitive listening to spoken commands and prompts to encourage verbal proficiency.  At Saint John's, she is taking this style of teaching to transform our Spanish language program.
