The Spanish for Native Speakers program is offered at several high schools and middle schools for heritage Spanish speaking students. The completion of Spanish for Native Speakers I and Honors Spanish for Native Speakers II will satisfy the UNC entrance requirements for World Languages.

Our middle schools offer Spanish for Native Speakers I part A in the 7th grade and Spanish for Native Speakers I part B in the 8th grade. The successful completion of Spanish for Native Speakers parts A and B at the middle school is equal to completing Spanish for Native Speakers I in high school.

For those heritage Spanish Speakers who complete both Spanish for Native Speakers I and Honors Spanish for Native Speakers II, they may continue into Honors Spanish 4 and eventually the Advanced Placement Spanish 5 and 6 courses or into the appropriate IB Spanish courses​.

Marhaba! We are pleased to have our Arabic Language Program at the Military and Global Leadership Academy at Hawthorne HS.
