Understanding the Investment in Spanish Programs

Balancing a high-quality education while ensuring cost-effectiveness can be a challenge!

Our cost-effective program provides a complete curriculum filled with lessons and Spanish resources like worksheets, assessments, activities, bonus content, and MORE.
You may wonder, “Should my school develop their own Spanish curriculum or implement a fun, effective, and ready-to-go Spanish course?”
Cost Challenges of Developing a Spanish Program
When creating a robust Spanish curriculum from scratch, you must consider various expenses, from hiring qualified teachers to purchasing textbooks and integrating technology.
Hiring Qualified Spanish Teachers
Hiring a qualified and state-certified teacher is likely the most important priority! These teachers should have proficiency in Spanish and expertise in teaching the language to students in a classroom setting. Finding the right Spanish teacher for your school includes reviewing applications and conducting interviews. Once hired, another cost is to pay the teacher.
Professional Development
A best practice for teachers (and often, a requirement of schools and states) is that teachers participate in professional development to stay up-to-date on best practices and methods of teaching. The school may also provide professional development opportunities for teachers to enhance their skills and keep up with the best practices in language instruction. Providing teacher training opportunities often calls for time and resources, or an alternative to this is to pay the cost for teachers to attend professional development.
Curriculum Development
To begin a school Spanish program, a curriculum needs to be developed to ensure the correct grade level of grammar and vocabulary are implemented. This may also involve selecting and purchasing textbooks, workbooks, online resources, and other teaching materials.
Assessment and Evaluation
Private schools typically assess and evaluate students’ progress in the Spanish program through quizzes, tests, projects, presentations, and language proficiency exams. Depending on the curriculum you plan to implement, some assessments may need to be paid for.
Technology Integration
Private schools may choose to pay for certain subscriptions to technology platforms for online Spanish classes. As each Spanish teacher may teach differently, they may request that the school purchase individual subscriptions.
Why Choose Sarah’s Spanish School?
Sarah’s Spanish School is a cost-effective Spanish School serving over 25,000 students. We provide all students with access to high-quality Spanish learning opportunities.
Outside of our engaging and immersive Spanish program (designed with the most up-to-date research methods and taught by highly qualified state-certified teachers), many schools and families choose us with cost in mind.
With our language immersion curriculum, there are no hidden costs. We provide a customizable scope and sequence to offer interactive children’s Spanish classes when YOU need them. We also provide you with an online portal that holds all Spanish lessons, worksheets, assessments, activities, flashcards, and extra Spanish resources for all students in your class!
There is no need to purchase textbooks, workbooks, or extra materials.
We also offer professional development for schools, which allows the in-person facilitator to feel confident about implementing our program. This way, there is no need for any facilitator to speak Spanish! Most facilitators in schools do not speak Spanish (but they learn a new language and improve along the way!)
Are you looking for a live teacher to teach Spanish classes synchronously? Do you need access to grades to input in grade books? Don’t worry! We offer those as options, too.
