    When looking for a school for our child, we had a list of necessities which included a safe and…read moresecured environment, loving staff and a great curriculum. Having toured several other schools, we were unable to find the right fit until we found CIS. Not only do they check off all of our boxes but they offer so much more than we could have ever asked for. In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, every staff member truly loves what they do and cares about each and every student. It is a home away from home and I know that each day that I leave my child in their hands, that she is more than well taken care of. They are extremely communicative and share classroom updates, school news and photos of my child each and every day. We love that it is project-based and a STEAM school as she has already learned so much! Additionally she is learning how to speak and write in Spanish and Mandarin! We absolutely LOVE her sweet teachers Mrs. Trujillo and Mrs. Alltop and couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful school and all the incredible people that work here!

    The school is super clean and modern. They have cameras everywhere and the entry to the school is…read morelocked and each family is given their own keycard to allow them entry. There is a lot of modern technology, they even have robots. The staff is absolutely amazing! Everyone makes you feel at home. There is one class per grade which adds to the home like feeling since the school is small and more intimate. 1:8 ratio, each class has a total of 16 students and a teacher and educational assistant. So each child gets the attention they need. They also provide individual educational plans. The students learn BOTH Mandarin and Spanish. And they also offer global studies. It's project based learning so not a lot of homework and busy worksheet type work. I'm blown away with everything CIS has to offer my child! This school is everything I thought it would be! My child is thriving so much! And it feels like a real family here. I love how small and intimate it is. And I'm really looking forward to my child growing up with her classmates over the years. I highly recommend CIS to anyone that is looking for a unique school experience for their children. It's also a VERY safe environment. I never have to worry about my child which gives me so much peace of mind!

    This is offered at Lake Tahoe Community College-…read more Highly recommended. This has gotta be the next best thing to spending a week in Mexico, 5 eight hour days of Spanish, food and culture. There's 15 levels of classes from stark beginner to expert. Having managed to forget all of my college Espanol with the exception of "quiero mas cervaza por favor" I signed up for the high beginner class. If you find you're in a class that's too advanced or too slow for you, you can change on the first day if there's space available. I went in expecting the typical class with maybe some breakout sessions for practicing conversations. But the folks that put this institute together figured out that 8 hours of classroom es muy aburrido (boring) so they mix it up with 3 -4 elective classes daily. You start out with the basic grammer class, and then at 10:00 choose from about 20 different elective classes. The elective classes tend to fall into culture, music, dancing, travel and food catagories - muy bueno! I took classes on tapas, Dia de el Muerto, La Loteria, paella, salsa dancing, nature and my favorite: pan dulce. Yum! Midday one can sign up for an elective conversation group - highly recommended. I didn't get that much opportunity to speak in my grammer class, and this group really forced me to come up with the words (palabras). This was followed by another elective session - I signed up for Spanish Swear Words. Dios mio, did I learn a lot of completely useful saying in that class. Almost all of them can't be posted on Yelp, but one of my favorites is "baja tu pedo" figuratively meaning "chill out" out but literally translating to "lower your fart". There's another one hour grammer class in the afternoon followed by another hour of elective classes. And there's even another elective session after that, but after 7 hours my brain had turned to flan. My basic grammer class had about 20 students in it and the professora was excelente. I was surprised at the high ratio of women to men (about 90% women students) could be because they have a lot of classes geared towards nurses and teachers. ISSI is offered every August, and it does sell out. It costs about $125, it might be more for Nevada residents, I'm not sure. Entonces, if you are like me and can't afford a school in Costa Rica, get your culito (little butt) to ISSI.

    I'm familiar with a number of schools for intensive study of Spanlsh in Mexico, a couple in Spain…read moreand know of some other programs like this one here in the U.S., however, of those in this country, none that I know of are as large or well done as this one. Dozens of my Spanish students have attended this program as we are not far away, and I've taught at it as well. It's the very best thing of its kind that I know of, and next to going to a good school for a week in a Spanish speaking country there probably is nothing better you could do to kick your Spanish up a notch or two. The program itself is not expensive, but you do have to stay in Tahoe for a week. Some of my students have camped, or have rented places together to keep down the cost. I highly recommend it.

    I cannot say enough great things about Sombrero Time…read more From the very first phone call I felt this was a very professionally run program. David explained their philosophy & curriculum, and made sure we were a good fit for what they offered- this is not just an after-school free play program. We were invited to sit in on a class, which we did. There is a fully printed & bound curriculum workbook that coincides with the daily lesson plans. They have their own printed posters & supplies (nothing is cheaply thrown together here). The teachers are topnotch bilingual & trained- which I personally appreciated as there are other programs that just think because someone speaks Spanish, that automatically qualifies them to teach. Not so. Most importantly is that my daughter enjoys going to Spanish. I was worried that she'd get burnt out or bored and that it would become pulling teeth to get her to go. NOT EVEN CLOSE! The curriculum is engaging & interesting, her teacher is responsive and encouraging, the class size is small and the children are friendly. We are 4 months in, and my daughter sings in Spanish, teaches ME Spanish words, translates material, talks to others and orders her own food at Mexican restaurants in Español. We feel very much welcomed & at home here. David & Ruth are some of the most sincere and inviting people you will meet. It has been worth it!

    Sombrero Time is an excellent full immersion Spanish Language program for kids ages K-6 Grade. My…read moredaughter has been attending ST for 5 years and I am amazed at the Spanish she can speak, write, and understand. We recently went on a family trip to Costa Rica and she was interacting the the locals and acting as our interpreter the entire time. The structure in the ST classroom (full immersion, no English spoken) enables the kids to think in Spanish as they learn, rather than translate the English words into the Spanish words in their brains. The teachers are all native speakers which means the kids are learning proper accents and enunciation. The curriculum is tailored to the kids' level and is clearly communicated to the parents at the beginning of the year and throughout the year. There are also several presentations per year where the kids present on various subjects, as well as progress reports given to parents. Overall, a phenomenal program and I would highly recommend it.

    We're so grateful we found L'Academy for our now 3 year old. We've been there since June and have…read morebeen thrilled with the care she receives. All of the teachers are so kind and attentive - we especially love Ms. Joanna and Ms. Joselyn. The communication is excellent. The director is very kind and responsive. The classrooms are clean and bright and we love how much outside time the kids get. They do fun activities and have a lot of family events. Highly recommend!!

    Are you looking for childcare with a truly caring staff and nurturing environment? Look no further…read morebecause L'Academy is the place! I haven't stopped raving about it since my daughter started a few months ago. Ms. Quynh was incredibly professional and guided me every step of the way through the enrollment process. She was always quick to respond and thorough in her communication, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The environment felt safe, clean, and welcoming from the very beginning. The cost also felt very reasonable and huge bonus is you work for the state or healthcare as there is a discount (not sure if they are still doing this but I was able to get the discount when my daughter started). One of my favorite features is the app they use to track the children's daily activities. I love being able to see photos and videos of what my daughter is doing throughout the day--it gives me peace of mind and helps me feel connected even when I'm away. The teachers are so warm and attentive. On the rare occasions when my little one is having a tough morning, they were patient, creative, and compassionate in helping her adjust. Knowing she's in such good hands has been a huge relief for me as a parent. Earliest drop off was 7:30am and latest pick-up was 5:30pm. What really sets L'Academy apart--beyond the amazing staff--is their language program. They teach Spanish and Mandarin, which has been a wonderful way for my daughter to learn about different cultures while also stimulating her intellectual growth. In the short time that she was there, 4 months, she learned how to count and say certain animals or objects in Spanish and Mandarin. I can't recommend L'Academy enough to my friends and family. It's truly a gem!
