Important Reasons to Learn Spanish!

1. Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world! In about 25 countries, Spanish is the first language! Travel is lots more fun, if you speak the language of the people who live there!

2. Spanish and English share many words in common - most are of Latin origin. Plus, it is easier to learn other romance languages (those derived from Latin or "roman") such as Italian, Portuguese, and French!

3. Learning a second language makes one a better student! The more conections you feed your brain, the smarter you will be! AND - it is proven that students who learn a foreign language excel in college entrance exams!

4. To learn another language opens our hearts and minds to other peoples and their cultures - "to know another's language is to begin to know his heart . . ."!

5. It is FUN!

Why Learn Latin?

I just came across this interesting information and wanted to share it! Latin is fun! Latin is beneficial! And, Latin is important!

Across the nation, studies have shown Latin to be effective in improving...

SAT Scores
Studies conducted by the Educational Testing Service show that Latin students consistently outperform all other students on the verbal portion of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT).
Click Here for more information.

College Grade Point Average
A study of freshman college student performance conducted by the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1985 yielded the following results:

Language                       GPA
Latin Students                2.89
No Foreign Language    2.58
Spanish Students            2.76
German Students            2.77
French Students              2.78

Reading Achievement, Vocabulary Skills, Math Problem Solving...and so much more!

We are so lucky to have Latin at CCS for our students!
