Middle School and High School Spanish
(Grades 6-10)
Enroll now for September
45-minute weekly classes designed to build real Spanish communication skills through a proven, story-based curriculum.
Students learn through engaging stories, conversation, and meaningful interaction, not memorization, so they can confidently understand and speak Spanish in real-life situations.
This program uses a research-based approach aligned with national language standards, integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing in every lesson.
✔ Real conversation from the very beginning
✔ High-frequency Spanish used in everyday life
✔ Story-based lessons that keep students engaged
✔ Confidence-focused environment where every student succeeds
✔ Homework, quizzes, and assessments included
✔ Foreign Language transcript provided upon completion
Unlike traditional programs that focus on memorization, our students learn Spanish in a way that mirrors how language is naturally acquired through understanding, repetition, and meaningful use.
Spanish I
Grades 6 to 10
--------------
Designed for students with little to no prior Spanish experience.
Spanish II
Grades 8-10 (placement)
--------------
Spanish II is a continuation of Spanish I and is designed for students who are ready to expand their communication skills and deepen their understanding of the language.
Through more advanced stories, conversations, and reading, students build fluency, increase vocabulary, and express themselves with greater ease and accuracy. Lessons continue to focus on real communication, helping students move from simple responses to more complete and confident expression.
Students leave this course with stronger comprehension, improved speaking ability, and the confidence to engage in Spanish in meaningful ways.
Coquílingo offers joyful Spanish enrichment and immersion through playful learning, structured practice, games, and real-world communication. With small groups and personalized attention, students gain confidence speaking Spanish from day one.

Amanda P.
(Highlands Family Success Center)
I wholeheartedly recommend Daleska for any opportunity involving youth education and language instruction. She has served as a volunteer Youth Spanish teacher at Highlands Family Success Center starting March 2023 and has demonstrated exceptional dedication, skill, and passion for teaching. Daleska brought positive energy and creativity to every lesson, making Spanish accessible and engaging for students of all levels. She designed interactive activities, incorporated cultural elements, and fostered a supportive classroom environment that encouraged participation and curiosity. The students consistently responded with enthusiasm and showed measurable improvement in their language skills. Beyond her teaching abilities, Daleska was reliable, timely and consistently communicated with HFSC staff as needed.
Jen A. (Homeschool Mom)
We have taken multiple Spanish classes and been so happy with the patient, fun environment created by Señora Daleska
Stephanie B. (Homeschool Mom)
I highly recommend Ms. Daleska Bravo as a Spanish instructor. All three of my children had the privilege of attending her Spanish class for two years, and the experience was truly outstanding. Ms. Bravo has a gift for making learning both enjoyable and interactive, while also maintaining a strong sense of academic integrity. My children were consistently excited to attend her classes, which speaks volumes about the engaging and supportive environment she creates. What impressed me most was her ability to effectively manage and teach multiple age groups within a single class. Despite the range of ages and learning levels, she connected with each student, meeting their individual needs and ensuring that they all thrived. This skill not only demonstrates her versatility as an educator but also her genuine dedication to her students' growth. I am deeply grateful for the positive impact Ms. Bravo has had on my children's language learning and overall educational experience. I am confident that she will bring the same enthusiasm, expertise, and commitment to any teaching opportunity she pursues.
