~ Oral Expression ~ Principles of Grammar ~ Composition ~ Reading Texts Sparhawk middle school offers modern language instruction in Italian and Spanish. Classes are richly interactive and simulate, to the greatest degree possible, an immersion experience. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are emphasized in an organic fashion, i.e., in the natural order of skill acquisition. Students are encouraged to hone their listening and speaking skills first and, over time, to read and write at ever higher levels of ease and fluency.
In accord with a European model, students, having mastered the fundamentals of their first language of choice, may, in high school, begin the study of additional ones. We are preparing Sparhawk graduates to live successfully in, and contribute to, an increasingly complex world, a world that requires a deeply multicultural perspective.
