World Language Magnet Program

Chappell Elementary School offers excellent opportunities for the students of the Ravenswood and Bowmanville neighborhoods and beyond. Chappell participates in the CPS Magnet Cluster Program. Because of this, K-8 students who do not live in our attendance area are able to apply for available seats through the CPS Options for Knowledge program.

 

All students in grades K-8 study Spanish.  Our Spanish program is designed to introduce students to the Spanish language in a fun and engaging way, fostering listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Through interactive activities, games, songs, and simple conversations, students will gain a basic understanding of common phrases, greetings, and vocabulary. The program focuses on building a solid foundation in language, promoting confidence in speaking and comprehension, while also encouraging cultural awareness. Students will also have the opportunity to explore the language by learning about the diverse countries and cultures where Spanish is spoken. This exploration helps to deepen their appreciation for the language and its global significance. Our goal is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment that inspires curiosity and a lifelong love for languages.
