Spanish Foreign Language
Secondary School Foreign Language Department
As part of cultural development, North Mahaska students are offered a course in Spanish. They are provided a positive learning environment in which to communicate while learning about different cultures in Spanish speaking countries. Learning a new language can be challenging so students are encouraged to participate in a variety of speaking activities as they become global citizens together. Spanish students can find extra support online with grammar essentials or meet with their Spanish instructor before or after school.
