Spanish Through Art, Story and Song: A Waldorf-Inspired Class

In this Waldorf-inspired Spanish class language comes to life through storytelling, art, and conversation. This is a Spanish immersion class (90% Spanish), where students learn through hearing, seeing, and doing—building vocabulary through experience rather than memorization.

Each week centers around a theme such as feelings, animals, food, family, or seasons. These topics are introduced through carefully selected Spanish stories and expanded through songs, visual aids, movement, and discussion. Art is used not only as a form of creative expression but also as a tool to reinforce comprehension and vocabulary.

This class is ideal for learners who enjoy creative, hands-on learning and benefit from rhythm and routine. Our Waldorf-trained teacher creates a safe space where children can experiment with speaking, listening, and understanding Spanish at their own pace. Activities are designed to spark confidence, imagination, and a genuine love for the language.
