Middle School New Families

Our Modern and Classical Languages Program in the Middle School is quite extensive, offering Chinese, Latin, and Spanish. In grade 5, the Language Carousel consists of a trimester each of Chinese, Latin, and Spanish. In grades 6-8, we establish an in-depth understanding of a single language.

Click here to view our Modern and Classical Languages Handbook, which provides information about our language offerings in grades 6-8. It is a helpful resource as you discuss language study with your child. As you help your child choose a language, please consider any prior language experience they may have, as well as their passions, interests, and natural curiosity.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Joan Romanosky, Middle School Modern and Classical Languages Department Chair, at romanoskyj@greenhill.org.

GRADE 6:
Students entering sixth grade must select one of these languages to commit to for grades 6-8, with their sixth-grade school year being a beginning language course. Click here to complete your child's language registration by Wednesday, April 23.

GRADES 7/8:
Students in seventh and eighth grade are required to study a language. The following language questionnaires will help us learn more about your child's language experience.

At Greenhill, we have a 1:1 device program for students in prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Fifth through twelfth grades are issued a laptop to use throughout the school year. Students are expected to use their Greenhill-issued device for all their Greenhill work. Because we want to ensure the devices our students use support learning in the classroom, the cost of classroom technology is incorporated into tuition.
