 Michuchutren - Spanish Immersion Program

Michuchutren is your starting point for a wonderful life experience: bilingualism. There are people who learn a language and there are people who “love” the language. Michuchutren wants to foster in our students and their families LOVE for the Spanish language, respect for diversity and proudness of being bilingual.

Knowing more than one language not only opens the doors of the world to our children in the future, it also teaches them to understand and respect other cultures and ways of thinking, opens their minds to new worlds and, in the process, their cognitive, social and emotional development also grows incalculably. Our students will maintain their natural curiosity for learning and explore their world while developing skill

s required to succeed in a global world.  To foster this, we surround our children in a full Spanish immersed environment where they can learn the language in their natural way, through enriched, play-based daily activities.
