Why choose Mariposas Spanish?

Mariposas Spanish School has been teaching children Spanish since 1999. Our unique curriculum has shown that children learn a new language best when they’re engaged by their maestra (teacher) in a variety of ways. Music, art, science, literature, and the Total Physical Response (TPR) method make up the fabric of our Montessori-based curriculum. Students are not only acquiring Spanish language skills but are learning about other cultures and are gaining an understanding of other people.

Home Learning

Learning Spanish from the comfort of home has never been easier! Three options build the foundation for this side of Mariposas Spanish School: download educational music, free mini lessons on YouTube and fun games & music videos on our Spanish app, Spanish School Bus.

Community Action

One of our missions as an Austin-founded organization is to give back to our local community. Throughout our history, we have donated to several local non-profits whose values align with our own through. Thanks to support from our Mariposas family, we have been able to help make an impact in our local community.
