Heritage Spanish Language Arts is to develop Spanish production skills, promote student voice, advocacy, and whole-person celebration (linguistic and cultural).  Students progress in their academic reading and writing skills, and advance 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 Spanish IV or AP Spanish, participate in the Seal of Biliteracy Assessment, or study another language.
