Program

Frank D Parent school will be implementing the Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) program that focuses on Spanish language instruction, using the FLEX model for grades K-2 and the FLES model for grades 3 and above.  
 
  • K-2 Grades (FLEX Model): Students will engage in a flexible, theme-based introduction to Spanish. The focus will be on building vocabulary through songs, stories, and hands-on activities that integrate cultural learning. The goal is to foster a love of language learning through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
  • 3rd Grade and Above (FLES Model): Starting in 3rd grade, the curriculum will follow a more structured FLES model, emphasizing the development of language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will begin to use more conversational Spanish and apply language skills to content areas, promoting interdisciplinary learning.
  • Middle School (6-8): Although the program currently focuses on K-5, it can be expanded to middle school grades, offering more advanced language study in preparation for high school Spanish or dual language programs.
     
  • All families are welcome to apply to Frank D. Parent's Spanish Foreign Language program. Families residing within Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) boundaries may apply directly to Frank D. Parent School, and receive priority in enrollment. We also welcome motivated students from other school districts, and provide guidance on district-transfer protocols.
