Through this challenging course, students gain a valuable skill, while growing in their appreciation for the beauty of the created order.

In this course, students are exposed to the foundational grammar necessary to speak and write well in Spanish. The weekly class is conducted in Spanish, allowing students ample time to practice speaking the language and to receive correction as needed.

Weekly assignments integrate standard grammar worksheets with the use of a speech recognition software so that students may continue to build their knowledge and confidence outside of class.

In this course, students are introduced to classical composers, musicianship, music theory, vocal technique, chant, and polyphony.

Our Seasonal Theater class will stage three small productions this fall: Comus - a children’s adaptation of John Milton’s original masque, a pantomime for the feast of St. Martin de Porres, and a nativity play for Christmas. Students will memorize lines, create costumes, craft props, sing songs, and perform for family and friends.
