On a beautiful spring evening, Isabella & Ferdinand® Academia de Español had the honor of participating in the Washington Global Spring Benefit, hosted at the Tunisian Ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C.
A Night of Global Connection and Celebration
The event brought together educators, families, and community partners to celebrate the diverse cultures represented at Washington Global. We were proud to contribute to this evening of unity and learning, showcasing how Spanish language and Hispanic culture open doors to connection and understanding.
Spanish Through Culture
At our booth, guests were invited to explore our immersive approach to Spanish education. Highlights included:
Our “Passport to Spain” activity, where students shared facts about Spanish geography, art, and traditions.
A collaborative Joan Miró-inspired art station, where attendees of all ages expressed their creativity while learning vocabulary in Spanish.
A storytelling corner, featuring El toro Ferdinando, one of our students’ favorite spring themes.
💡 Why It Matters
Our mission is to help students grow as global citizens through authentic language learning experiences. Events like the Spring Benefit remind us of the importance of building bridges across cultures—and how early language immersion makes that possible.
“This unforgettable evening was a true testament to the power of language and cultural education. We are honored to have shared this experience with Washington Global and the Tunisian Embassy, and look forward to continuing to inspire young minds through meaningful cultural immersion and global learning opportunities.”
-Maira Abasto, Director
Thank you to the Washington Global team and the Embassy of Tunisia for including us in such a meaningful celebration.
