Est. 2011
In 2011 Norma Vetell started an after-school class at her house to help her two children improve their Spanish Language and teach Spanish to her children's neighboring friends on a combination of methods she learned during her ESL teaching experience. She began teaching six children one afternoon a week and the results were phenomenal - not only were the children learning Spanish, but they loved the Spanish class, looked forward to it each week and started inviting other children to join them. From this innovative experience, All About Spanish was born.
Our mission is to provide our students with the knowledge and skills to live in a global community and allow them to become proficient in Spanish as they develop higher thinking skills that will be reflected in all aspects of their education. We believe that by providing our students access to the Spanish culture, our program will help them become global citizens and open doors for their future success.
