Goldwood Primary
Spanish Program 2023/2024

The Program

• Classes are taught by caring and enthusiastic teachers from the Cleveland Spanish Academy (CSA).
• CSA’s mission is to provide an enriching lesson complete with songs, listening exercises and age-appropriate, interactive activities.
• Students in grades K-2 can enroll in the program. Students are grouped by age and experience depending on enrollment. There is a maximum of 14 students per class and a minimum of 7.
• Students attending before school care are welcome and will be escorted to/from Spanish.

The Objective

• The objective of the program is to immerse kids in the language as much as possible so that kids acquire the language similar to how they learned their first language.
• The focus is on understanding the spoken language, first attempts at using the language, and reinforcement through exercises in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure.
• Kids build on what they learn year-after-year and progress through basics such as colors, numbers, and letters through using various verb tenses and constructing basic phrases as vocabulary becomes more robust.
