Inclusion, belonging, and team culture

We are enriched by the unique cultures and perspectives of our internationally-diverse, community of teachers, administrators and staff. We work to create a globally-aware community through research, professional development, and conversations with each other about our cultures and languages to offset implicit biases. We seek to create an environment in which each member of our community is welcome as their true self.

Professional development for teachers

We hire teachers with a passion for learning who seek to continuously advance their teaching knowledge and skills. We look for teachers who love working with young children, are fluent Spanish-speakers, and embrace the Spanish-Immersion, emergent curriculum foundation. We provide our teachers with a vast array of professional development opportunities and mentorship from a variety of school leaders. Teachers benefit from our network of international schools which also makes it possible to share innovative and proven teaching strategies across multiple learning communities.

Outstanding benefits

We believe our teachers and staff deserve to be compensated well for the dedication, commitment and care they give our students everyday. Part of that is providing great benefits to enhance our employees well-being and peace of mind. That is why we offer health plans that can cover up to 100% of the employees health premium (depending on program), a 401k retirement plan with up to a 4% match, as well as short and long term disability and life insurance policies at no cost to the employee. To promote mind and body health, take advantage of our Employee Assistance Program and PerkSpot gym discounts!

CELEBRATING OVER 20 YEARS!

Combining a quality early childhood education with a Spanish immersion program gives our students a leg up in their education and their lives. For parents who value multilingualism – beginning their child's formal learning with an immersion preschool is a natural fit. During this time, children’s brains are hard-wired for language learning and pick it up naturally. Bilingual children expand their awareness of the world and gain significant cognitive benefits. For students from Spanish-speaking homes, a Spanish-immersion education helps keep the family’s cultural heritage alive. There are many benefits of multilingualism and we are proud to support our students on their journey.
