Teacher and Student

If your child is a native Spanish speaker, we have an amazing opportunity for them to start high school with credits already earned. Imagine what they could achieve RIGHT NOW!

What’s this all about?
8th-grade students who are native Spanish speakers can take the Credit-By-Exam (CBE) for Spanish 1. If they pass, they’ll earn high school credit!

But that’s not all!
If your child passes the Spanish 1 exam, they can also take the CBE for Spanish 2! This means they could earn 2 FOREIGN LANGUAGE CREDITS before entering high school.

What are the benefits?

  • Start high school ahead of the game.

  • Save time to focus on other subjects or activities.

  • Build a strong foundation in required foreign language credits.

How to participate:

  1. Talk to the school counselor to register your child for the CBE.

  2. Get ready for the exam dates—more information is coming soon!

Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
