Summer Classes (Conversational or Literacy)

Our Summer Conversational and Literacy classes are a continuation of our regular school year academic classes.  These classes are offered in-person and online, for Levels 1, 2, and 3.   

 

Our Conversational classes offer students a full immersion, small-group setting that is fun and engaging. These classes focus primarily on conversational Spanish, although our more rigorous Level 3 classes include all academic disciplines, plus encourage and focus on students' presentation skills.  

​

Our Literacy classes are designed for Dual Immersion Students and/or native or fluent Spanish speakers.  These are our most rigorous classes and they will push your student to the next level.

​

Choosing your level: 

​

Level 1: Suitable for students that are new to our program, have no knowledge of Spanish, and/or are new to the language. 

​

Level 2: Suitable for students with limited Spanish, and/or have Spanish support at home, and/or have been part of our Level 1 Spanish classes at Nuestra Escuelita. 

​

Level 3: Suitable for students who can carry a basic conversation in Spanish, and/or have been part of our Level 2 Spanish classes at Nuestra Escuelita.  Students are expected to read and write in Spanish.

Cultural Summer Camps

Our Cultural Summer Camps are one-week long (M-Th) and offer students a relaxed environment where they're immersed into the Spanish language as they explore the culture, geography, music, dance, art, and cuisine of various Spanish-speaking countries. 

​

WEEK 1: Colombia and El Salvador 

WEEK 2: Spain and Ecuador

WEEK 3: Bolivia and Peru

WEEK 4: Puerto Rico and Guatemala

​

Our camps are led by a native Spanish speaker and credentialed classroom teacher.  Classes are limited to only 10 students so we’re able to provide as much individualized attention as possible.

​

Camps will follow the following schedule and focus on these major themes:

 

Day 1: History and important facts which make each country unique. 

Day 2: Agriculture, food, and cuisine--don't be surprised if they bring home something delicious or ask for something new to eat at home!

Day 3: We explore geography, landmarks, and other cool places!

Day 4: Students learn about music, art, sports, and more, that are unique to each country.

 

These one-week camps offer a relaxed environment where students accomplish their learning via hands-on projects, arts and crafts, games, music, and much more.   By the end of the week, your student will be an expert and have a deeper appreciation of each country, its culture, and contribution to the world.
