Experience language learning like never before
Bridge building
|
Why "Puentes"?
Puentes is the Spanish word for bridges.
Our focus is to bring Spanish language learning into your home in a unique and fresh way. To ensure that the students are able to both understand and speak Spanish, we implement an immersion (Spanish-only) program. Through diversified instruction that is tailored to the students' needs and interests, we will give them the best chance possible at becoming fluent in Spanish.
Our mission is to provide quality language instruction to your homeschool students, so that they will not only get their language credits, but they will also truly grasp and love the Spanish language. They will learn to communicate authentically in Spanish and apply those skills to the real world.
Our vision is to build bridges between your students and the Spanish language, between their country and Latin America, without even having to leave home. There is tremendous value in learning about other cultures from a young age and learning to appreciate the differences. We would love for our students to walk away with much more than Spanish fluency. When they dig into the roots of what it means to interact personally with other cultures, they learn to value people from all backgrounds.

The Curriculum
|
Our curriculum follows the format that is typical to Spanish education in U.S. public schools, but we include personalization according to the students' levels and needs.
We recommend grouping the students by their closest age and ability levels. They will have a placement interview upon entrance if they have background Spanish knowledge. We have two formats of curriculum, one at an elementary level, and one for middle and high schoolers. Parents may join in with their students! |
