Learning a second language is an important part of
Canyon Heights Academy’s curriculum.

Spanish

Studying Spanish enriches students’ learning and fosters an appreciation for other cultures. The curriculum builds skills across four key areas of language: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Our students make meaningful connections to subjects like math, history, and technology as they progress in their studies.

Latin

Beginning in sixth grade, Canyon Heights students begin a three-year course in Latin focused on etymology and the origin of words. Latin strengthens students’ understanding of science, law, logic, government, and theology, while also preparing them for learning additional languages in high school and beyond.
