Explore The American School Language Institute! Elevate your language skills with private and group courses in English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Chinese. Open to all school sections and the wider community.

In today’s world of hyper-connectivity, global markets and cultural diversity, our ability to communicate effectively with those outside our immediate geographic bubbles is more important than ever. I believe there is no better way to succeed in this environment than to speak the language of those with whom we collaborate. Increasingly, bilingualism is an absolute minimum, and learning and mastering a third or even fourth language is common among the most effective global citizens. Aside from gaining a competitive advantage, let’s not forget how fun, intriguing and satisfying it is to learn a new language! It keeps our minds flexible and engaged. It keeps us humble yet brings us a deep sense of accomplishment. We relish the immense feeling of connection that comes with our ability to confidently say to our friends from different cultures and backgrounds, I really enjoyed talking with you.

Intensive Spanish for International Families

Our Intensive Spanish Program designed specifically for you. This course is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourselves in the Spanish language and Mexican culture. Let’s learn together!

Our purpose is to quickly introduce international parents to Spanish and our culture. The approach is primarily communicative and action-oriented, focusing on problem-solving, social interaction, and self-esteem.

Why do we recommend this for you?

Knowing the language of the country of residence has a significant impact on the socio-emotional development of international families. This knowledge influences several key aspects:

Social integration: When families are proficient in the local language, it becomes easier for them to integrate into the community. This facilitates the creation of support networks, participation in social activities, and the establishment of friendships, all of which are crucial for emotional well-being.

Access to Services and Resources: A good command of the language allows families to more easily access health services, education, and other community resources. This reduces the stress associated with adapting to a new environment and improves quality of life.

Identity and Self-Esteem: Knowing the local language contributes to a sense of belonging, which is crucial for the identity and self-esteem of family members. Feeling part of a society reduces feelings of isolation and fosters a positive bicultural identity.
