Spanish Bilingual Program

Spanish Bilingual Program

G.S. Lakie Middle school is proud to offer our Spanish Bilingual Program to grade six, seven, and eight students.  

This program is designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their Spanish speaking, writing, reading and listening skills in a diverse set of contexts. Students receive both content and explicit language instruction in Spanish. Students will also have the opportunity to learn about and participate in cultural events that are important to the Spanish-speaking community throughout the school year.  

If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about student eligibility for the program, please reach out to our Principal, Brad Dersch (brad.dersch@lethsd.ab.ca).
