YPW Spanish Immersion School
YPW Spanish Immersion School stays true to its name; we are a Spanish immersion school for children ages 6 weeks to 10 years old. Our core curriculum is designed to spark and maintain children’s interest in Spanish by engaging them in intelligent, creative and enjoyable activities such as math, science and technology, dancing, singing, cooking, art projects, games and much more.
We believe that total immersion is the best way for your child to develop a long-lasting foundation in the Spanish language. In a total immersion program, children spend the day learning a second language.
All subjects are taught in that language as well.
In most cases, learning a second language through immersion enhances a child’s ability in other subjects. Children will actually have a better grasp of their own language by learning the structure of another language. It has been shown that children who are learning a foreign language score higher on standardized tests in English.
YPW Workshops
The workshops at YPW are created to help young people discover intelligent fun through educational hands-on activities exploring different branches of art, science, and technology. YPW also offers workshops for toddlers to 12 year olds focusing on music, robotics, and much more!
Our year round programs are designed to provide new experiences not found in regular classrooms.
The YPW workshops, camps, and school programs are taught by highly skilled experienced instructors who believe in engaging and motivating your child to learn through various forms of fun.
YPW Spanish Workshops
YPW offers beginner to advanced level Spanish workshops for young people from preschool to high school age. All workshops are full-immersion, meaning all workshops, including instructions and activities, are taught entirely in Spanish.
The YPW Spanish Instructors are native Spanish speakers trained in education. Even beginner students quickly become comfortable with the Spanish language. Full immersion “immerses” the students in the language, allowing for a much faster rate of learning.
YPW Camps
YPW Camps offers full and half day Spanish day camp for the entire summer session. Around the Latin World in 55 Days (A.K.A Spanish Immersion Day Camp), immerses the campers in Spanish while participating in fun and engaging activities, games and field trips.
YPW Spanish Tutoring
tutoring is available for K-12 students as well as adults. Our native Spanish speaking tutors provide instruction at the academic level by following the student’s class curriculum and assisting with preparation for upcoming assignments and tests.
The tutoring program covers grammar, vocabulary, conversational skills, pronunciation, reading, writing, and more.
Our Spanish tutors are trained for one-on-one tutoring in order to ensure the most efficient and motivational tutoring available for academic and personal instruction. Furthermore, our Spanish tutors will work with classroom assignments and plan for upcoming tests so that students are well prepared for Spanish throughout the school year.
Our Tutors are Native Spanish speakers with teaching experience and an education related degree and background. For all of our teachers, we also perform a Criminal record background check.
