Beginning Spanish for Kids

This is a fun, activity-based class to help kids learn and practice Spanish. Curriculum is applied through the use of age appropriate activities to maximize the assimilation of Spanish. Your child will improve his or her language skills, and more importantly, will have fun learning!! This enjoyable experience will give them the confidence to explore foreign language later in life. We recommend this class for kids ages 5-8, and parents are welcome to join their children.

Beginning Spanish for Adults

This course will offer the basic foundation of the Spanish language. The curriculum we use is the same offered by the Spanish government for visitors and new citizens. The class is an immersion class where the teacher will keep a majority of the class in Spanish. But don't fret—it's a fun, relaxed, and inviting environment!
