ATTENTION Incoming Freshmen planning on taking Spanish at AMHS.
Many students often wonder "If I took Spanish 1 in middle school, should I automatically go into Spanish 2 at the Magnet?" This is a common question, and we're glad you asked! Although any student that has completed Spanish 1 may choose to enter 9th grade at the Spanish 2 level, many students find that the rigors of a foreign language at the high school level differ greatly from that of the middle school level. Often times, 9th grade students prefer to start high school at Spanish 1 in order to insure that they have a solid foundation in the language and reinforce any confusion so they can move forward with confidence. Students that start at Spanish 1 can still take AP Spanish their senior year if they decide! They would move directly from Spanish 3 junior year to AP Spanish their senior year.
