After-school · by grade level

Three levels. One adventure.

Foundation in fun. Songs, games, stories, real conversation. Kids pick up sounds and phrases before they pick up grammar — the way all of us first learned a language.

3rd–5th grade

Spanish 2 · Elementary

Expanding horizons. Students build on what they already know, moving from single words into full conversations, short stories, and simple writing — still through play.

6th–8th grade

Spanish Middle School

Deep dive into Spanish. Grammar, vocabulary, and conversation refined to prepare kids for high school Spanish — with the same Martha approach: adapt to the kid in front of you.
