Fall 2010 Schedule
The ATI 2010 Fall Semester begins the week of Monday, September 20, and ends Thursday, December 16. However, there is a significant break (from October 25 to November 14) for the “Day of the Dead,” during which you will have homework, but your class will not meet. After you register, you will receive an “Activities Schedule” for your specific class.

Spanish 13: High Advanced
This course is for of students who have a very good working knowledge of Spanish including many tenses and can understand spoken Spanish pretty well, but still need a lot of work to develop their conversational abilities. Who belongs in this class? If you have finished at least half, and perhaps all of our “Modified Destinos Program,” but still need a lot of practice to develop the quality and quantity of your speech, this class is for you. If you are considering this course, we need to talk. The design of this class is complex with great flexibility and choices and can’t be discussed completely here. I would like to tell you about your options. If you had to drop out at a high level and have been thinking about coming back in, this is your chance. Don’t miss it!
