Each class is year round and consists of about 30 hours of instruction. Offerings occur once a week before or after school for 1hr. We have a course sequence built on the level of the learners. Depending on their age and their abilities, they can enter into our program in any of our Level 1 through Level 7 courses if they are offered at your school.

Our Spanish teachings are complemented with colorful visual aids, storybooks, puppets, songs, and a variety of activities. At home, the students use the workbook (provided as part of the tuition) to reinforce what they learned in the classroom. The catchy songs we use in class should be purchased separately on iTunes which helps vocabulary retention. We have 7 years of program materials which can be purchased separately if you’d like to order them for your school. Click here to order materials.

What is taught?
We use a “Comprehensible Input” model where we use English and gestures to aid in comprehension. This gives students a basic Spanish foundation of vocabulary, grammar structures, and pronunciation to set them up for success when they take more rigorous courses in middle and high school.What is a typical class size?
It ranges from 7-12 students with rapid participation by everyone in our kids Spanish classes.How do I determine what level of Spanish to enroll my child in?
Sing and Speak Spanish is a sequential curriculum. Students progress from Level 1 to Level 5, where each course assumes the student has learned the vocabulary and grammar from the previous courses or their equivalent. Beginning Spanish learners should sign up for either Level 1A or Level 1B Spanish. Level 1A is most suitable for K - 2nd graders and Level 1B for 2nd - 5th graders. Still not sure?
