Olas Spanish Immersion School

I rarely take the time to give reviews, but I had to for Olas. Kindergarten is almost over. This school and the teachers here all have been such a blessing for my daughter and myself. The teachers are so loving, kind and patient. They treat the kids like they are their own children. They focus on the child’s learning style, each individually and as part of the group. I’m truly so grateful for having found this hidden gem. My only regret was not finding it sooner. My daughter has had a wonderful 2 years here and the best foundation for her lifelong learning journey.

OLAS has been an amazing home for all three of my children since they were very young! I appreciate the location, the building and campus and learning. My kids look forward to their maestras and the fun. Highly recommend!

Our family has enjoyed such a wonderful experience at Olas for the last 2 years! After one meeting with Mara, we knew Olas would be the school for us due to the caring and attentive nature she displayed, along with the way she integrates time into the curriculum for the children to be outside vs. learn solely in the classroom. The results speak for themselves. Within one month of attending Olas native Spanish speaking family members commented on the improvement in our daughter’s Spanish. In addition, our daughter was flourishing, and asking to go to Olas every day. Our daughter has participated in summer camp the last 2 years, and we are very impressed with the comprehensive learning children experience about Latin American countries. History, culture, music, dance and so much more is built into the summer camp programs in a fun and festive way that reaches children of varying ages. Summer camp has been an absolute highlight of our time at Olas along with the quality and caring nature displayed by all the teachers. The environment at Olas is one of a family. It’s clear from the way the teachers interact with the children and the way our daughter speaks of the teachers how loved she feels every day she attends Olas. She has learned so much Spanish: reading, writing, math, science all packaged together with beautiful songs. I know our daughter will look back fondly on her time at Olas, though for now we will continue to attend special programs and summer camps making memories with our family at Olas. Highly recommend this amazing school!

Updated in 2022: Our second daughter has been here since 18 months, and after 6 weeks she already speaks Spanish, sings songs, etc! Now when my children play with each other, their switch seamlessly between Vietnamese (their native language) and Spanish. Olas was a life-saver during the pandemic. We love the school! ----- Old review 3 years ago: Olas is awesome! The school is clean, teachers are always so cheerful and attentive. Our daughter enjoys speaking and reading in Spanish, she converse well with friends who are native speakers. The online resources provided by the school are also very helpful for us to keep up with her materials at home. I cannot wait to send our second daughter here!

I'm very pleased with Olas Spanish Immersion School, my little one started at this wonderful place one month ago and is learning a lot of Spanish already. He is always happy to go to school and sing the new songs that learn there. The teachers are very professional and very experienced. The school itself is very beautiful, well kept and looks very secured. I'm very happy to have found this place and recommend it to anyone that wants their kiddos to learn Spanish and have fun.

My niece has gone to this school as a PreK student and then for additional after school & summer time programs over the last 5 years. The director, Mara, has also taught her Spanish privately. Not only have her language abilities flourished with Olas's support, but also my niece truly values & connects with her Olas peers & teachers.

We couldn’t be more impressed with Olas! We have 2 children and both have been enrolled at Olas! My 3.5 year old has learned so much Spanish at Olas and loves going! She comes home from Olas with knowledge about the current season and all things related! She is comfortable using Spanish at home due to their teaching methods. She has also learned so many songs both traditional and new! I am so impressed with all she learns there every day! The teachers there are so loving and feel like family to us. I couldn’t have picked a better place to have my daughter!
