At Virtus Academy, our doors and minds are open to embracing new languages and cultures. Although only 5.6% of our state’s population is Hispanic, Spanish is one of the top five languages used in the world, and more than 1,200 South Carolina companies have an international footprint, reinforcing the need for more skilled Spanish speakers.
Our teacher, Cesar Castro, has been teaching for 16 years. A native Colombian, Spanish is his third language. As our school grows, he hopes to implement field trips and possibly an exchange program.
Grades 9–12
High school students can continue their Spanish studies by enrolling in Spanish II and III, earning them foreign language credits for college and giving them a leg up on job applications.
