Ensenada, BC, Mexico – June 11, 2007 - Each summer the Baja California Language College allocates a number of spaces for children, teens and families to experience total Spanish immersion in Ensenada.
Spaces are filling-up faster than expected this summer, but some dates are still available in both July and August.
The program stimulates children's and teen’s natural curiosity through hands-on interaction, lessons, games, songs and recreational activities. There are several breaks throughout the day and all instruction is in Spanish.
"The family program works out so well because our campus is big enough to separate the kids from the adults and small enough so the parents are always close at hand," comments College President Keith Rolle. "It is extremely gratifying for us to see the youngsters having so much fun using Spanish to communicate."
Children 6-16 years old must have a parent or guardian either enrolled in a Spanish immersion program or staying in Ensenada. This is an exciting and rewarding group activity that facilitates and encourages greater family unity.
To further advocate parental participation, the Baja California Language College offers a 15% tuition discount when three or more immediate family members are enrolled at the same time.
Older teens may enroll without having a parent present. However, placement is granted on a case-by-case basis.
Mexican family homestays are also available.
Visit the webpage Children, Teen and Family Programs for additional program and application information.
Enrollment in these specialized summer programs is strictly limited.
"I could not have been more pleased with my experience at the college. The instructors were excellent, the program very organized and the homestay totally enjoyable. Everything met or exceeded my expectations."
