Spanish

Spanish is part of our Monday homeschool program in Lakewood Ranch. Taught by Ms. Yuri, who is fluent in both Spanish and English and has extensive experience teaching Spanish. Her classes are movement based, so students hear, speak, sing and act out the language instead of memorizing lists.
