Spanish Curriculum Guide
Christ Alone Lutheran School’s vision for our Spanish program is that our students in grades 6-8 obtain an introduction to a foundation in a second language while growing in their knowledge and appreciation of the Spanish culture.
Christ Alone Lutheran School believes that an important part of sharing the Gospel message is recognizing and appreciating different cultures as redeemed children of God (1 John 2:2). It is therefore important that our students develop a greater knowledge and understanding of people from different lands. Our Spanish program will assist the students in learning the beginnings of a new language with a realization that many people in their own culture do not know Jesus.
