WHO WE ARE The Juntos Spanish Immersion program at North Middle School brings together Spanish immersion students and heritage Spanish speakers who want to develop high-level, academic Spanish and deepen their understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures.

The immersion program is uniquely designed for both heritage Spanish speakers, and students who have completed an Elementary immersion program to learn from one another.

Juntos offers challenging Spanish-language courses in Earth, Life and Physical Science, Health and Wellness, P.E. and Humanities that prepare scholars to earn college credit with AP courses in high school.
