Foreign Language

Three years of a foreign language are required toward graduation at St. Martin's School. The students have a choice of either French, Spanish , or Latin. Latin is being gradually phased out and will eventually be replaced by either German or Russian.

In the Modern Languages, we try to teach the students to understand, speak, read, and write the language - with special emphasis on understanding and speaking. To fulfill those aims, the direct approach is used to avoid as much as possible the use of English in the classroom.
