Spanish Immersion Kindergarten

We offer a bilingual five-day Kindergarten program, which consists of three days in Spanish (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and two days in English (Tuesday, Thursday). We also offer a three-day Spanish- only program. Both programs are 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., with optional extended care.

Our number one goal for our Kindergarten students is to have them fully prepared for first grade. Our highly experienced, Spanish and English teachers share teaching responsibilities by presenting a continuous curriculum in alternating languages. This means that concepts taught in Spanish one day are not simply repeated in English the next day, but reinforced, built upon, and taken to the next level. All subjects (reading, writing, math, and science/social studies) are covered daily.

Whether it is an English day or a Spanish day, all students will experience a true Latin educational environment. This environment academically enriches the student, emphasizes manners, and nurtures the child.

Our program is based on the Texas Education Agency's Kindergarten TEKS, http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148. The SSH Kindergarten curriculum has been developed by a team of Texas-certified teachers to meet all of the state requirements but is taught at a higher level, challenging students to reach their highest potential. Creative lessons and small class sizes allow a personalized learning experience and increased opportunities for student participation. In addition, students are enriched by learning about the Latin culture and traditions, and they gain self-confidence as they speak, read, and write in Spanish and English.

Texas public schools (and many private schools) allow enrollment into each grade level based on the student's age on September 1. At Spanish Schoolhouse we encourage parents to enroll their children using the same guideline, but in some cases, our schools can extend the cut-off to September 30. Please contact the Director for more information.

In a Spanish immersion environment, children are surrounded by the Spanish language during the school day, enabling them to learn the language through the natural interactions of school activities and social connections. In an immersion environment, conversation is key!!

Each year, we hold open registration in early February for the upcoming school year. Enrollment during the school year is possible on a space-available basis.
