We encourage families to contact us as early as possible, as our small group Spanish Immersion classes fill quickly. Because we intentionally keep our class sizes limited, availability may be very limited once enrollment opens.
Our academy program follows a 10-month academic school year from August through May, with a summer Immersion Program offered during June and July. Because we intentionally keep our class sizes small, mid-year enrollment is based on availability. We encourage families to contact us directly for current openings.
CASA welcomes children ages 3 to 5 years old into our academy program. Children must be 3 years old by September 1st to enroll. Our summer Immersion Program is open to children 3 to 7 years old by June 1st.
Yes. Children enrolled in our academy program should be independently potty trained before the first day of school. If you have any questions about your child's readiness we are always to guide and support families through the transition.

At Castillo Azul Spanish Academy, we believe children learn best through meaningful connection, exploration, movement, play, and daily language immersion. Our whole-child approach supports each child's social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and language development in a warm and nurturing environment where Spanish is naturally lived throughout the day.
Inspired by developmentally appropriate early childhood practices and language acquisition principles, our program balances teacher-guided learning with hands-on, child-centered experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence, creativity, and independence. Through stories, music, movement, art, and interactive learning, children naturally develop Spanish communication Skills while building a strong foundation for Spanish immersion kindergarten and beyond.
Our Enrollment & Materials Fee is designed to cover the majority of your child's classroom experiences throughout the school year, including classroom supplies, hands-on learning materials, field trips, field trips, student Welcome Kit, official CASA t-shit, and end-of-year student portfolio.
We strive to provide families with a simple and transparent tuition structure, so there are very additional costs throughout the school year. Occasionally, optional special events or enrichment experiences may be offered to families.
We understand that some children may have food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions, and we work closely with families to help create a safe classroom environment for all students. Families are responsible for providing their child's daily snacks and informing us of any allergies or medical concerns prior to the start of the school year.
In situations involving severe allergies, additional classroom precautions may be implemented to help support student safety.
No. The Enrollment & Materials Fee is non-refundable, as it reserves your child's placement in our program and allows us to prepare classroom materials, students supplies, learning resources, and special items for the school year.
