The Gabriela Mistral Latin American School is offering Challenge Exams to students who are able to demonstrate their knowledge and competency in Spanish 10, 20 or 30. If you are a student who is proficient in Spanish and Spanish 10, 20 or 30 is not offered at your high school, you may write a challenge exam. The Challenge for Credit option allows you to demonstrate, by a predetermined process, that you are proficient in Spanish without having to complete the entire course. Upon successful completion of the Challenge Exam, the student will obtain 5 credits.
