The goal of Heritage Spanish Foundations is to increase confidence in language production and build essential Spanish literacy skills.  Students' existing experiences are used to develop academic reading and writing skills, and grow in their language proficiency.  Students are also supported to discuss their identities as multilingual and multicultural individuals. Their abilities to flow between English and Spanish are seen as a benefit and a unique way to develop as global citizens and scholars.

Successful completion of this course students may progress to Heritage Spanish Language Arts, Spanish IV or AP Spanish, participate in the Seal of Biliteracy Assessment, or study another language.
