Spanish I

Grade 9-12 · Christian · NGSS/CCSS-aligned

Most American language classes produce students who can conjugate and can't speak, for one structural reason: one teacher, thirty kids, so nobody gets conversation time. Clareza doesn't have that problem. Clara talks with your child one-to-one, every day, and never sighs. She starts at about 10% Spanish and works up as they cope. She never teaches grammar — when they say it wrong, she simply says it back correctly and keeps talking, which is how you learned your first language. Each week is something they'll be able to do, not a rule they'll be able to recite, and progress is measured by an independent check that only counts what they actually did in conversation.
