Foreign Language Program at Heights
Madison
Heights
Elementary School is the first
elementary school in Madison
to offer a foreign language as part of the regular curriculum.
Program Framework
The
program is offered to all Heights students in Grades Preschool through fourth. "Students
attend Spanish class three times in each six day 'week', or in other words,
approximately every other day." The
curriculum covers grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversation.
All
students who are classified as "meets" or "exceeds" on the
AIMS test or district assessments take Spanish; those who do not use that time to
concentrate on the subject areas in which they may be having difficulty.
There
are no additional costs associated with the foreign language program. Madison Heights is open to
all students, including those who live outside the district boundaries.

After-School
Programs
Heights
students have the opportunity to extend their foreign language learning by
participating in an after-school program.
Rosetta Stone is a key component of the after school program. Programs are run by Madison's Community Education Department and
are fee-based. For more information on afterschool opportunities call
