Santa Cruz Spanish offers a fun and dynamic way to introduce and expose your child to the Spanish language and culture. We use a comprehensive instructional method for teaching Spanish and provide students context-rich and fun activities to hear and use Spanish language. The main focus is vocabulary and conversation. As students continue learning, they are getting ready for more formalized study of Spanish in school. Students learn  new vocabulary and learn to use the language instead of memorizing words. They engage in activities using a multisensory approach that makes learning fun.

Children learn key phrases and how to ask and answer basic questions related to the unit they are learning. They are introduced to basic grammar in a simple and fun way; teachers may use science and art projects to teach students  new vocabulary. Instruction for children in K grade or younger teaches songs and learning vocabulary with pictures and age-appropriate games. Younger kids can also learn simple phrases from the "question/answer" component of the program.

Our program includes important elements:    Music and games Association with Pictures Pronunciation Reading Skills Cognates Listening skills Story telling Conversation Cultural Awareness Geography Positive Atmosphere for Learning
