About
EDS My Classroom
EDS Method method stimulates the memorization and ability to use the language.
Students get the language tools they need to progress in a practical and accurate way, and become bilingual.
As a licensed program to work with local schools, our connection to families and students has nurtured our model and curriculum.
EDS Method
Academic + Creative
EDS Method works.
Learning Spanish can be academic and fun. Students need to get and we need to provide the tools effective.
We use two elements:
-
A core academic curriculum to make a strong language foundation.
-
Creative activities to learn in an experiential way.
Students will develop their skills to:
-
Have a conversation
-
Fluently read passages
-
Accurately write and spell
Immersion
Increments
How we apply them.
A class is taught in full immersion when the teacher speaks 100% in Spanish. In our experience, this immersion model works best when the child spends a meaningful amount of time immersed.
In our method, classes are 60-95% immersion. We increment the % of Spanish used as the level and length of the class increases (advanced level and camps).
We always keep a 5% SAFETY English for protocols and other important matters.

Teachers with
Higher Education
Qualified, Trained, supervised.
EDS Teachers have completed higher education degrees, some have double degrees.
We follow a 3-step training in our Method.
Our teachers work during the year at our schools’ and tutoring programs, and during the holidays at our camps.
This makes them knowledgeable of our methodology, and the academic work performed. Children like to find familiar faces in our different programs.
