Schools should evaluate their language programs on students’ proficiency in how they communicate in the language.
Sarah’s Spanish School focuses on proficiency-based outcomes that encourage students to use their language skills in meaningful ways! We support students in building confidence in their communication.

Essential Language Proficiency Metrics
When evaluating your school’s Spanish program, it’s important to use established standards, such as the ones set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
Our Spanish language curriculum aligns with these ACTFL standards, providing students with a pathway to progress through various stages of language proficiency.
ACTFL’s guidelines focus on key skills like speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the Spanish language, offering clear benchmarks for evaluating student progress.
With Sarah’s Spanish School, students aren’t just learning Spanish—they are steadily improving their language proficiency through structured, fun, and engaging Spanish lessons.
