I teach 7th grade Spanish at MS 51. All students at MS 51 take either Spanish or French and I have 6 classes of 7th grade Spanish. MS 51 is a gifted and talented school located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, uniquely committed to a balance of both an intensive accelerated academic program and an in-depth, three-year arts program. At MS 51 our aim is to prepare students for the rigors and challenges of high school with a challenging academic program. This is supplemented by an intensive focused study of one of six "talent" areas--including vocal music, drama, instrumental music, dance, photography, and fine art--in which students develop a deep connection to their talent as they explore their art and self-expression. Our academic and arts curriculum is rounded out by a strong commitment to community service, sustainability, and philanthropy.
