*These classes are designed to prepare students to pass the course and the Spanish Final Exam at the end of the year.  For Spanish level 2 it is also designed for students to be ready to move on to Spanish LEVEL 3 and beyond.  Most colleges look for students to have a sequence in Foreign Language & University in the High School level. Spanish level 4 & 5 will earn you 4 COLLEGE CREDITS EACH.  There is also an opportunity to earn a New York State Seal of Biliteracy during Spanish level 4.
