¡BIENVENIDOS! / BIENVENUS! / WELCOME!
The Modern Languages Department is constantly
abuzz with activity. Here you can always find something
exciting going on. We pride ourselves on the fact that we endeavour to bring the world to our classroom and our
classroom to the world.
With newly initiated programs and with on-going successes, our
department provides fantastic opportunities for one to learn
French and Spanish.
Our students have travelled extensively across
Europe since
the summer of 1996 and embarked upon immersion stays in Mexico
and Quebec. This year brings the exciting promise of home
stay in Costa Rica and Montreal for our students involved in
the Fast Forward Programmes.
 Our very
exciting Fast Forward programme focuses the intelligence and
enthusiasm of our very best students from Grades 8 through 11
and is designed to maximize fluency in Spanish and French.
Our ultimate aim is to prepare these students for home stay in
Costa Rica and France.
Our proud relationship with the Alliance Française des
Bahamas, continues through our in-house Oral Proficiency
Programme in French.
