The ability to communicate in more than one language is an essential skill and provides important social and cognitive benefits. Early exposure to a second language can also enhance a child’s understanding of their first language.

After considerable consultation in 2024, our school transitioned to teaching Spanish as our Language Other Than English.

Our Spanish language program not only teaches students the Spanish language, but we also teach our students about Spanish culture. At GIPS, students participate in Spanish once per week across all year levels and we celebrate in our annual Spanish Day.
