Why Study Spanish?

"Over the past two decades, countries in the world have become more and more interdependent, and technologies have erased existing borders.

As boundaries between countries are dissolved, foreign language instruction has become more necessary than ever for linking with the rest of the world and for producing an enlighted citizenship able to function in today's ever shrinking world.

(Furthermore,) foreign Language study enhances academic skills, raises SAT scores, and prepares students for careers."
