Summer Programs

In addition to our on-going classes for babies, toddlers & pre-schoolers, for Summer 2012 we will be offering age-appropriate Spanish immersion programs for:

• Elementary school students - Week-Long Day Camps and 50-minute Daily Classes
• Teens - "Los Chavos" classes, Teen Internship Program and Private Tutoring

Spanish Immersion Day Camps
(for children ages 5+)

The Spanish Immersion Summer Camps are designed to give children a unique opportunity to learn or improve their Spanish language skills. During our week-long camps students are grouped according to both age and language proficiency to ensure maximum learning for each individual.

The camps consist of one-week sessions. During each session, students participate in interactive games, music and movement activities, and arts & crafts projects that center around a specific theme. Beginner students will learn basic language skills to supplement the vocabulary linked to each theme. More advanced students will learn useful phrases, grammatical concepts and practice their conversation skills.  Each week culminates with a sing-along and presentation, where the kids get to show off what they learned. Sessions run Monday-Friday.  Ages 5+. Students may sign up for any number of sessions.

This summer we will be learning vocabulary and participating in activities related to these fabulous themes:
