Indianapolis Spanish Place also offers adult group classes, adult private classes, corporate classes, classes for medical and police professionals, ESL instruction, translation services, interpretation services, and study abroad. Programming for children is available at the Rucker Rd. location and through area schools, and Spanish interpretation services are available in person throughout the Indianapolis area or over the phone. The mission of Indianapolis Spanish Place is to serve English- and Spanish-speakers with products and services that offer educational, linguistic, cultural, social, and communication benefits, including Spanish instruction, translation, ESL instruction, interpretation, social networking, study abroad, and print, broadcast, and online publishing, with a stated goal of bringing people together while encouraging tolerance, understanding, and exploration of new languages, cultures, and ideas.

The leadership team includes Directors Diana Mosquera (Colombia) and Marcela Salgar. The Indianapolis Spanish Place is a Midwest business that started together with Ohio locations in Cincinnati in 2004, Cleveland in 2011, and Columbus in 2017. The program partners with local schools and provides Spanish classes at different schools and preschools.

Parent and student comments describe teachers as energetic, upbeat, patient, caring, and fun to be around, and note that children talk about their teacher all week and are fully attentive in class. Families report that children come home speaking Spanish words, that small classes allow more chances to speak and receive personalized attention, and that teachers come from different Spanish-speaking countries, offering different accents. Other comments state that teachers are native speakers, that classes are interactive and immersion-based, and that some children who were initially reluctant about Spanish later looked forward to class and shared new words at home.
