Leewood has two Spanish programs.  Spanish-S for Spanish Speakers and Spanish-SL for Spanish as a Second Language.  Through both programs, your child will be learning listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in Spanish according to their level. 

  Below you will find useful information for the 2007-2008 school year.
