This fall, Isabella & Ferdinand® invites your child on a meaningful journey across the Spanish-speaking world—one country at a time.

Our Fall 2026 program, Huellas de Nuestra Cultura, is a 16-week Spanish immersion experience where children will discover the most influential artists, sculptors, and writers from Latin America and Spain. Each week, students will explore a new country and its cultural legacy through hands-on activities, storytelling, art creation, and language-building projects—all taught 100% in Spanish.

This is more than a language program—it's a passport to creativity, heritage, and global understanding.
