About Stuyvesant Puentes a la Hispanidad

Puentes a la Hispanidad’s purpose is to allow students of all backgrounds (regardless of whether they are actively taking Spanish at Stuy) a space in which they can practice their Spanish in an authentic and beneficial manner. By focusing on current events and discussing various forms of hispanic media, students can immerse themselves in the culture that is so greatly intertwined with the language they wish to learn. Beginner level students can build their confidence in their speaking skills, while advanced and heritage students can work to further develop their grammar techniques. Puentes is primarily focused on cultural immersion through practical application; by enabling students to improve their speaking skills, a skill which can be subject to neglect in a classroom setting, they are able to learn more about the culture they will ultimately communicate with. Additionally, Puentes serves as a community outreach program in which students will aid in fundraisers to help give back to the communities from which they are learning.
