Real Spanish, not Spanish class.

Our Maestras are native speakers from across the Spanish-speaking world. Your child learns the language the way they learned their first one, by living in it.

The same curriculum as our accredited schools.

Edgewater teaches the NAEYC-accredited Rayito de Sol curriculum, with the same standards and the same teacher requirements as our established schools.

A day at Edgewater

Mornings open with music and a greeting in Spanish. The day moves through hands-on STEAM work, outdoor time, stories and meals, all of it in Spanish, all of it led by teachers who speak it as a first language. Your child is not translating. By week three, most are thinking in Spanish during the day.

Questions parents ask
Will my childʼs English suffer?

No. Children raised in immersion settings reach English milestones alongside their peers, and research consistently finds advantages in focus, memory and problem-solving. You will speak English at home, and that is enough.

Does my child need to speak Spanish already?

No, and most do not. Our classrooms are full of children speaking Spanish today, but most started without any familiarity with the language.
