Do 6-7 year (jr. high + high school) Spanish programs exist?

I would like to start oldest on Spanish next year. Dh and I are both fluent speakers and we have a limited budget, so I am planning on teaching him at home. I'd like to find a program that teaches grammar well in addition to covering vocabulary and conversation. I would like to use one publisher for the next 6 years of study.

 

My state requires four years of high school foreign language study.

 

Recommendations? I am finding two years of study programs, but not four, and certainly not six.

I am bumping in the hope that whatever suggestions you get will provide some food for thought as we get closer.

 

Since you are both fluent, do your dc already speak some Spanish?

Many public school texts have a 1a/1b to be done over two years in 7th/8th, and then years 2-4 to be done during high school, which makes 5 years.  The 6th year would be AP, which is different materials.

 

I have to say that I really hate most public school texts.  I find them almost impossible to navigate (although that is mostly a layout complaint).  If you're fluent, I found Breaking the Spanish Barrier to be a nice, straightforward grammar text.  It also has vocabulary.  I added extra reading.  If you're both fluent, you should be able to add conversation.  The BtB website has conversation prompts aligned with each chapter.  I think it could use more structured, step-by-step writing prompts, though.  That's one place I found the public school texts were stronger.

Galore Park's Spanish program runs from middle school through high school age.

Thanks for the tips on Galore Park and on being able to add an AP year. :)
