Russian Language Instruction for Spanish Speakers Institute Background
Pritzker College Prep provides students with two years of Russian language education that prepares them to pursue further language study in academic or professional settings. Many of Pritzker College Prep's students speak Spanish, so instruction draws upon linguistic connections between Spanish and Russian.
