Get Ready for Classes!

Isabella & Ferdinand® Academia de Español® offers classes for children aged 12 months to 13 years and private tutoring for all ages. The classes cater to both first-time learners of the Spanish language and children who already possess a solid comprehension and oral foundation in Spanish. Isabella & Ferdinand Intensive classes are multi-hour sessions designed for bilingual children, focusing on achieving grade-level fluency in Spanish.

We are conveniently located at Horace Mann ES in Northwest DC, with our address at 4430 Newark Street NW, Washington, DC 20016. We are now situated right across the street from our previous Learning Center at 3301 New Mexico Ave.

In addition to our location, Isabella & Ferdinand also partners with schools to offer our Spanish classes as an enriching program. If you are interested in implementing the Isabella & Ferdinand curriculum at your school or community center, please reach out to us at info@isabellaandferdinand.org.

Empower Dreams: Bridging Horizons Through Language Education

We invite you to join us in a remarkable journey - one that transcends borders, connects hearts, and transforms lives. Our mission at Isabella & Ferdinand Academia de Español is simple yet profound: to empower dreams through language education. We believe that every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Our "Empower Dreams" campaign is an expression of this belief, a call to action to create a world where language knows no boundaries and where the beauty of culture is celebrated. Our focus is clear - to bridge horizons through the power of language, specifically, through the enchanting language of Español.
