NATIONAL SPANISH CHALLENGE
In order to engage more students in their linguistic studies, propagate more interest in multiculturalism, and encourage students to express themselves, the AATSP Exams now offers young students the opportunity to participate in the NSC Coloring Contest – regardless of their scores on the National Spanish Challenge (NSC) itself. Students that have participated in, or that will be participating, in the National Spanish Challenge (NSC) have a new opportunity to let their creativity shine!
