Foreign Language

French or Spanish

Awareness of cultural diversity and command of a foreign language are marks of a well educated person. All students at Saint Luke School study both French and Spanish from Kindergarten through second grade. Upon matriculation to third grade, students select a desired language to study. The curriculum begins with vocabulary development and culture. This foundation is then augmented with grammar, writing, conversation, and literature. Following graduation, students are placed in high school level II, II Honors, or III based on the National Exam scores and classroom performance.
