Classes for kids

Upcoming workshops

This fall, our Portuguese workshops are divided by age and are open to children at all levels. These small classes familiarize children with the Portuguese language through games, projects, and group activities. Students will learn essential vocabulary, be introduced to elementary grammar, and practice having basic conversations. They will also learn about Portuguese culture and Portuguese-American heritage.

Our Spanish workshops are designed for children with little or no experience with the language. Each thematic, project-based workshop introduces and reinforces basic skills (counting, alphabet, etc.) within a different context and with distinct vocabulary. We read books, listen to music, play games, create art, and learn about different cultures and traditions. This fall, we'll be entering the world of the popular "Who Would Win?" book series!

This fall we're also offering Bilingual Beginnings, a 4-week workshop for little ones (ages 3–4) and their adults. Kids will explore Spanish through songs, movement, and play with our lead Spanish teacher, while parents settle in for coffee, tea, and conversation with our school’s owner.

Backpackers: school-year classes

Our school-year classes are offered at a variety of levels for everyone from complete beginners to heritage speakers. Classes meet in small, stable groups and follow a fun, project-based curriculum. Age-appropriate activities may include games, art projects, nature exploration, pretend play, theatre, music, and literature. For students who already speak and/or understand the language, classes are an opportunity to build community through shared language and culture, where they can enrich their vocabulary, build their confidence, and work toward biliteracy.

Level 1

For students who are just starting out with the language.

Level 2

For students in 3rd grade or higher who’ve been with us at least a year or have equivalent experience. Permission required.

Level 3

For students who already speak and/or understand the language.

The 2026–2027 year is underway, but some groups still have space. If you need advice choosing a level, just email us and we'll help you find the right group.
