Spanish afterschool program at Horace Mann DC
DAILY SCHEDULE — MONDAY TO FRIDAY

3 Hours of Structured Spanish Every Day

From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM — a balanced mix of oral immersion, outdoor breaks, and literacy.

3:00 – 4:20 PM SPANISH PROGRAM

Immersive Spanish session — songs, vocabulary, games, and oral expression activities led by certified native instructors.

4:20 – 5:00 PM OUTDOOR BREAK

Outdoor activity, recess, and play time to recharge (weather permitting). On rainy days the break stays indoors with games and a light snack.

5:00 – 6:00 PM READING & WRITING

Dedicated lectoescritura (Spanish reading and writing) — building literacy skills that complement the oral language acquired earlier in the day.

What Your Child Will Learn

Real Spanish skills — built through play, not worksheets.

  • Conversational Spanish — greetings, introductions, asking for things they need
  • Vocabulary through songs, games, and storytelling — colors, numbers, animals, food, family
  • Listening comprehension — following directions and stories in Spanish
  • Cultural awareness — celebrations, traditions, and stories from across the Spanish-speaking world
  • Confidence speaking out loud — a foundation that opens up a lifetime of bilingual opportunities
