Commendations “You are officially my hero! I am loving the AH Spanish SCHOLAR resources - they are fantastic. The pupils love using them, especially the listening. We find that SCHOLAR for Modern Languages is the best learning tool available. We can't thank you enough.” Stirling teacher 4 November, 2009 “I have just received the results and have achieved a 100% pass rate in the tri-level class. 8As, 8Bs, 3Cs. I am sure this is largely due to the Scholar Programme. In the Spanish class it was again 100% pass rate with every pupil achieving an A pass! ” Edinburgh teacher 17 August, 2009
