About
Viva el Español offers Spanish language and culture classes that include singing, dancing, movement, role-playing, games, stories, arts and crafts, cooking, food projects, music and movement, interactive games, art projects, and field trips. Camps include interactive games, music and movement activities, and art projects that center around specific kid-friendly themes. The program also offers online classes and private tutoring, with lesson plans tailored to a child’s needs in conversation, grammar, and foreign language study skills.
• Ages: 2–14 years old
Viva el Español teaches Spanish to young “amigos” from toddler age through grade 8 in before and after school enrichment programs, as well as during the school day. Six proficiency levels are offered for elementary school students, and three different levels are offered for middle school classes, which follow the Realidades textbook series. The Parent & Me option is for a parent and child ages 2–3 to learn Spanish side by side. The program also organizes field trips throughout the year so that students can practice Spanish in real, live situations, and it has worked with all textbooks that local schools use.
The program states that learning a foreign language in the pre-school and elementary school years is an essential part of a child’s education and development. Instruction uses 98–100% Spanish and is taught around themes or subject areas, with activities that are culturally based and supported by manipulatives, visuals, music, and cultural items from Spanish-speaking countries. Students are grouped by level of proficiency rather than strictly by grade level, and their progress is assessed on a regular basis. The first class is free, and instruction is provided by Spanish-speaking teachers who are professionals in their fields, including artists, dancers, musicians, and educational specialists, and who come from different countries throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The organization notes “Viva el Español Awards” among its credentials.
