World Languages and Cultures - Ledyard High School

We encourage all students to take language classes both semesters, minimizing the gap between our sequential courses.

Students should take at least 3 credits of high school French or Spanish, due to college admission requirements. The three credits should be in the leveled courses (I, II, III, and IV).

Conversational Spanish

Once a student has successfully completed Spanish II they are eligible to take Conversational Spanish. This is designed to be an extra, supplemental course, not a replacement for Spanish III or IV. The Conversational Spanish course may be taken the same semester or year as a leveled course as an enhancement. Alternatively, students can complete our leveled program and then take Conversational Spanish as a way to continue applying the skills they have learned. Conversational Spanish can be taken up to three times. Students must have earned a B in Spanish II or C in Spanish III to be eligible to take the course.

All courses offered by the World Languages and Cultures Department provide students with opportunities to meet school-wide academic expectations 1 and 2.
