Learning Spanish and about different cultures makes Groveland's Amity program special

Our goal is to give every student an appreciation for and an understanding of other cultures through Spanish language instruction and cultural exchange.

Amity Interns are Groveland’s Spanish teachers in the classrooms. They come from Spanish speaking countries all over the world. These Native speakers spend one school year here, allowing our students to practice speaking Spanish and to learn about new cultures.

Amity Intern Hosts are the Groveland families that interns live with during their stay. Host families enjoy unlimited Spanish, cultural adventures, and a life-long international friend. The Interns spend their first five months with one family and their next five months with another.

This school year the Amity Intern Program is funded by Friends of Groveland.

The Interns will teach in each classroom in 2 Residencies: one in the Fall and one in the Spring. These will be intensive 8 week-long residencies taught in half hour sessions, 2x per week. Language Club will also be offered before school for students interested in additional Spanish instruction.
