Spanish Academics
At Carbon Valley Academy, we want to provide our students opportunities to enrich the general education and provide opportunities for advancement into high School. To that end, CVA has supplemented our Core Knowledge program with this unique and special elective offering. CVA has implemented an intentional, focused K-8 language and cultural program by offering Spanish classes and Spanish heritage and culture classes as electives for students.
Now, all students attending Carbon Valley Academy K-8 can take Spanish language and immersion classes. According to research, less than 10% of Americans speak another language. Becoming fluent in Spanish means that CVA students will stand out in future colleges and careers as well as their own community.
When you learn another language, you develop intellectually and emotionally, which empowers your skills as a better and more confident communicator. Studies show that bilingual individuals have excellent problem-solving skills, as well as enhanced memory, concentration, and mental flexibility.
Additionally, foreign language experience is a fantastic addition to your college applications. Future admissions officers value the focus and drive of students who have invested in learning another language for several years. What’s more, Spanish language skills provide a serious competitive edge in the job market. Bilingual professionals are in demand across the private, non-profit, and government sectors.
