Spanish Department

Students with some previous knowledge of Spanish are discouraged from registering at the beginner level. A placement test will be administered to all students to confirm appropriate course selection. For further information, please contact the Department Head.


Spanish 10 (5 credits)
No previous knowledge of this language is required. The classroom emphasis will be on oral communication. You will also learn the fundamentals of written Spanish and explore diverse aspects of Spanish culture in the world.
Spanish 20 (5 credits)
Spanish 20 continues to expand on the vocabulary and grammar introduced in Spanish 10. The emphasis is on sentence and paragraph construction in the past tense.
Spanish 30 (5 credits)
Spanish 30 is the final course in this three-year series. The emphasis is on developing basic oral and written communication skills.
Spanish 10 IB (5 credits)
This is a new International Baccalaureate course for beginners. No previous knowledge of Spanish is necessary but students must be self-motivated and quick language learners, as they will be expected to write the Ab Initio exam at the end of Grade 12.
Spanish 20 IB (5 credits)
Spanish 30 IB (5 credits)

These two courses continue to expand oral and written proficiency in preparation for the IB Ab Initio exam written in Grade 12.

In addition to classroom instruction and cultural experiences in the languages, the members of the
International Languages department prepare and organize: Field trips to theatre, restaurants, Faculté St- Jean; organizing exchanges with Québec, Spain and Mexico (ask for more details); trips to Europe and the Québec Carnival (if enough students are interested in participating).
