5th grade students in Glastonbury have the opportunity to decide which language they wish to study throughout middle school (grades 6-8) during the spring of their 5th grade year. There are three options for Grade 5 students currently studying Spanish in Glastonbury:
● Continue with Spanish
● Continue with Spanish and add Chinese
● Begin French
Students from GEHMS (Glastonbury-East Hartford Elementary Magnet School) can continue to study Chinese and may add the study of French.
