Celebrating multilingualism

At HIS, students begin their journey as multilingual communicators with immersive Spanish learning, reflecting our commitment to global citizenship.

 

As an inclusive community, we celebrate diversity in all its forms, embracing differences in race, socioeconomic background, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, and family structure. This diversity enriches our academic environment and is vital to intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Languages offered

At our international school in Henderson, multilingual learning is embedded from Early Childhood to Middle School, empowering students to grow confident and fluent in at least two world languages.

Spanish

Spanish

Students experience a vibrant Spanish language journey alongside daily English literacy, starting in Early Childhood. Our youngest learners dive into immersive basics, sparking curiosity and confidence from day one.

 

In Lower School, students build language skills through storytelling and high-frequency vocabulary, developing strong interpretive abilities.

 

By Middle School, learners tackle a progressive, culturally relevant curriculum, achieving novice-high to intermediate-low proficiency in both written and conversational Spanish. With classes five days a week they access high-school level topics and earn credits for advanced knowledge.

Empowering every learner

Through a rich mix of language experiences, we help students build the skills and resilience they need to thrive.

Differentiated language assessments

Students’ English and Spanish language proficiency is regularly assessed through ongoing grade monitoring. This approach ensures that teachers can track progress, identify individual needs, and provide targeted support.
