Meet our teachers and staff

Our teaching approach is engaging, practical and adapted to each student’s age, experience and learning needs. Students learn Spanish through meaningful interaction rather than relying only on memorization or translation.

Lessons may include conversation, visual cues, repetition, music, stories, games, projects and cultural activities. These methods help students develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills while building the confidence to use Spanish in real situations.

We create a supportive environment where students can participate comfortably, learn from mistakes and progress at an appropriate pace.

Our curriculum helps school-aged students develop practical Spanish skills through engaging, age-appropriate instruction. Students build confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing while learning to use Spanish in meaningful situations.

Depending on the student’s age and level, lessons may include:

• Conversation and pronunciation practice
• Vocabulary and grammar development
• Reading comprehension and written communication
• Interactive games, projects and group activities
• Music, stories and cultural exploration
• Support for school learning and individual language goals

Activities are adapted to the students’ ages, abilities and learning needs, allowing beginners and more experienced learners to progress at an appropriate pace.

Our Spanish Preschool curriculum is designed for children ages 3–5 and introduces Spanish through play, exploration and age-appropriate activities. Children learn in a welcoming immersion environment that encourages participation, curiosity and growing independence.

The curriculum includes:

• Spanish vocabulary, listening and early communication
• Music, movement, stories and imaginative play
• Creative and sensory activities
• Social interaction and relationship-building
• Early problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
• Fine-motor and physical development
• An introduction to the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world

Each activity supports early childhood development while helping children build confidence and develop a positive connection with Spanish.

The time it takes for a child to effectively communicate in Spanish within The Spanish Schoolhouse immersion learning environment can vary from one individual to another. Typically, the language acquisition process unfolds gradually as children progressively enhance their language skills. This progression includes the expansion of their vocabulary, the development of deeper understanding, and the ability to use language to articulate thoughts in more complex ways. The pace of language acquisition is influenced by various factors, including the child’s age, exposure to the language, and individual learning style.

You can expect to receive formal report cards at the end of the school year. Additionally, throughout the school year, you will receive regular progress reports and feedback on your child’s performance.

Our children’s programs use a Spanish-immersion approach. Teachers communicate primarily in Spanish and use visual cues, gestures, repetition, music, stories and activities to help students understand and participate.

Classes are organized around the children’s ages and learning needs, allowing beginners and returning students to build their Spanish skills gradually in an engaging and supportive environment.

You do not need to speak Spanish for your child to participate successfully. Our teachers provide the instruction, repetition and encouragement children need to build their skills gradually.

At home, you can support your child by showing interest, asking them to share what they learned and creating simple opportunities to hear Spanish. Age-appropriate music, books, programs and educational activities can make continued exposure enjoyable.

The goal is not for parents to teach the language. Your encouragement and enthusiasm can help your child feel confident and motivated to keep learning.

Learning Spanish through immersion does not prevent a child from developing strong English-language skills. Children can learn and use more than one language, and many of the skills they develop while learning Spanish, including listening, communication, vocabulary awareness and understanding how language works, can support their overall language development.

Children may progress differently depending on their age, exposure and individual learning style. Our age-appropriate approach allows children to build Spanish skills gradually while continuing their regular English-language education at home and school.

Learning Spanish can support your child’s communication skills, confidence and awareness of the wider world. Regular exposure to another language encourages children to listen carefully, recognize patterns, consider different ways of expressing an idea and become more comfortable communicating across cultures.

Depending on the child’s age, experience and level of exposure, learning a second language may also support:

• Memory, concentration and flexible thinking
• Problem-solving and creative thinking
• Greater awareness of how language works
• Confidence when communicating with others
• Appreciation for different cultures and perspectives
• A strong foundation for learning additional languages

Every child develops at their own pace. Consistent exposure, engaging instruction and opportunities to use Spanish meaningfully can help children build their skills gradually.

Language-immersion education helps children learn Spanish through meaningful, everyday use of the language. During class, teachers communicate primarily in Spanish and use visual cues, gestures, repetition, music, stories, games and hands-on activities to help children understand and participate.

Rather than memorizing isolated words, children hear and use Spanish naturally while exploring age-appropriate topics and activities. This supportive approach helps develop listening, speaking, vocabulary and confidence while also introducing children to the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world.

Children do not need previous Spanish experience to benefit from an immersion program. Teachers adapt their instruction to each age group and help students build their skills gradually.
