Who this is for

Built for the schools that can't hire a specialist

Most small schools want Spanish on the timetable and can't justify a full-time Spanish teacher. This closes that gap.

⛪

Christian & private schools

A real language programme without a new hire. The curriculum's seasonal weeks include El Niño Jesús and Feliz Navidad, so it sits naturally in a faith-based calendar rather than fighting it.

🏡

Homeschool co-ops

One volunteer parent can run the class. Every week has a written plan, games and activities, and answer keys. No lesson prep between sessions.

🏫

Small & multi-grade classrooms

Spanish 1 ships two lesson plans and two worksheets a week: K–3rd and 4th–8th on the same theme. A mixed-age room runs one lesson, not three.

The four questions administrators ask

Answered up front

"Our teacher doesn't speak Spanish."Neither do most of the parents using this. Spanish 1 includes 29 videos where every vocabulary word is pronounced by a native speaker; Spanish 2 explains every grammar rule in English before the student meets it. Answer keys throughout, so nobody has to bluff.
"Can we legally copy it for a whole class?"Yes. A single classroom or co-op group is covered. Reproducing it across an entire school or district isn't, and that's what the school licence below is for.
"Is there a scope and sequence we can show parents?"Yes, published and printed in the Teacher's Guide: all 35 weeks with page numbers. It's reproduced on the Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 pages in full.
"What happens when the teacher leaves?"Nothing. The programme lives in the books, not in the teacher's head. The next person opens the guide at week 1 and carries on. That's why it's written open-and-go.

Questions

Practical details

Can you invoice us? We can't pay by card.
Yes. School and network licences are invoiced, and we'll supply whatever your finance office needs: W-9, purchase-order reference, remittance details. Individual classroom bundles are card checkout only.
Is it print or digital?
Digital, delivered instantly. Your licence covers printing as many copies as your students need, for as many years as you keep teaching it. Nothing expires.
How much class time does it need?
Every week comes with two written lesson plans (one K–3rd, one 4th–8th), plus extra activities and resources for the rest of the week. Schools running two or three Spanish periods a week use the written lessons first, then fill the remaining periods with the games, slide decks and extension activities.
Do we need Spanish 1 before Spanish 2?
Not necessarily. Spanish 2 assumes basic vocabulary rather than a specific prior programme, and its Teacher's Guide is written expecting students to arrive with gaps. Most schools run Spanish 1 first simply because it's the natural two-year path.
Is the content religious?
Spanish 1 has two seasonal weeks covering Christmas traditions, including El Niño Jesús. They're easy to keep or skip. Spanish 2 is entirely secular. Schools on both sides of that line use the curriculum.
Can we see it before we commit?
Yes. Ask for the free sample week on the form above and you'll get a complete week: teacher's guide pages, both lesson plans and both student worksheets. 19 pages, nothing held back.
Who wrote it?
