Spanish Immersion Programs for Children, Teens and Families:
Course Offerings Expanded
Ensenada, BC, Mexico – October 30, 2006 – The increased popularity of the Spanish immersion programs for Children, Teens and Families has prompted the Baja California Language College to expand course offerings.
Five additional weeks have been added where Children, Teens and Families may enroll as part of the Small Group Immersion Program.
The expanded offerings include Thanksgiving week (Nov 19-24), the last two weeks of December (Dec 17-30) and the first two weeks of January (Dec 31-Jan 12).
“In years past we only offered programs for kids during the summer months,” explained College president Keith Rolle. “But now, more and more parents are realizing that their kids need to supplement their textbook Spanish with a real-world application where the focus is communication.”
The Baja California Language College will continue to allocate a number of spaces in the Small Group Immersion Program for children, teens and families in June, July and August.
The programs stimulate 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," said 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 (i.e. parents and children) 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.

Children and Teens may also enroll throughout the rest of the year in the Private Immersion Program.
“During the past seven or eight years I have attended classes at the Baja California Language College both in Ensenada and the two-week classes held in San Felipe during the Spring and Fall. It is hard to find the words to describe just how much my life has been enriched from this experience. Learning to speak Spanish has opened doors I never expected.
Since my first class in Ensenada, there have been many major changes in my life. Learning the language has only brought more joy to me through the beautiful people, culture and country of Mexico. Every time I am able to attend classes in Ensenada it is much like “going home” to an environment that encourages you to grow in an atmosphere of professionalism and FUN!!! In my university studies, never did I experience the commitment and dedication that I have found from all of the teachers, director and owner of the Baja California Language College.
I have felt compelled to write this letter because of the negative press regarding safety and travel in Mexico. During the past 25 years I have been traveling to and from the United States and Mexico alone. The people from Baja California have been extremely kind and helpful and I must say that I have not had a negative experience in all of these years. After many flat tires, gasoline shortages, etc., etc. the stories are countless of the incredible people and their willingness to share their lives and homes with a complete stranger.
It would be easy to go on and on, so I would just like to say thank you to all of you from the Baja California Language College for your commitment and dedication to your students, and most of all for your friendship! “
