Description
What might happen if we built on the unique strengths of students who are native speakers of Spanish and other languages, instead of seeing them as students who needed to learn English before they could be challenged with advanced classes? West Hall High identifies gifted and high-achieving native speakers of Spanish and places them in AP Spanish, honors classes, and then an International Baccalaureate Bilingual Program. Find out how internationalism, language, and a Third Thing combine to create a school environment where diverse gifted students can reach their potential!
