Spanish

Expand your world while you discover it

Set your little explorer off on the right path with our Spanish Language Program. These classes are designed to teach kids Spanish as well as introduce them to cultural elements from Spanish-speaking countries. Learning another language is not only a practical life skill, but it also encourages openness to new experiences and fosters an appreciation and acceptance of other cultures.
 
Our Spanish Language Program utilizes TPR (Total Physical Response) and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) methodologies to help students make easy connections to new words, phrases, and sentences in a second language by using movement, music, stories, and more.
 
The program is open to children ages 4-10, with two different classes based on age. Both classes are beginner/intermediate level, and lessons are based on the aptitude of the current students. Sessions run in 8-week blocks and can be booked consecutively once the new session opens for enrollment.

PROGRAM DOES NOT RUN DURING SUMMER SESSION. NEXT SESSION BEGINS SEPTEMBER 2025.
