World Languages instruction in Spanish at River Oaks Elementary School is offered to students in grades K-5. Students receive at least 45 minutes of instruction every 6 days. All students attending River Oaks Elementary School participate in the World Language Program.
Through this program, all students develop basic communication skills in the target language while gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Instruction is guided by the five goal areas of the National and Virginia World Language Standards: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities. These standards serve as the foundation for learning experiences that are integrated across multiple content areas.
Early exposure to world language learning provides students with a strong foundation for future language study, while also fostering cultural awareness, global competence, and lifelong learning skills.
Information Sessions are for students currently attending one of the surrounding schools: Ashland ES, Covington-Harper ES, Leesylvania ES, Marumsco Hills ES, Pattie ES, Swans Creek ES, Triangle ES, Williams ES, Woodbridge ES.
