Summer Skills Classes

What we offer:

In this program, we help prepare students for what to expect going into a Spanish immersion kindergarten class. We teach students what to do when they don’t understand the teacher, how to communicate with basic Spanish phrases, and most importantly we show kids how much fun it is to learn Spanish! This class is perfect for deciding if Spanish immersion is right for your child or for kids who are apprehensive about Spanish kindergarten. This class is taught with both English and Spanish instruction.​

This program is ideal for elementary and middle school students enrolled in Spanish immersion programs who need additional homework support. Whether students are struggling with specific concepts or just need a bit of extra help to stay on track, this class provides the guidance they need to succeed.

This specialized class is designed to provide additional help for young learners who are in Spanish immersion programs and want to enhance their reading, writing, and literacy skills beyond their regular schoolwork. Our focus is on fostering a deeper understanding of language arts in Spanish, building confidence, and achieving academic excellence.
