We have adults of every age, from college students to retirees, take Spanish and English classes at Habla. We focus on creating a classroom community filled with alegria and we use a variety of creative teaching approaches.

Educators and artists gathered at Habla from Brazil, the United States, Argentina, Italy, and Mexico to exchange ideas and explore ways the arts might be integrated into language and literacy educational settings. Based on the concept of a Cabinet of Wonders, educators created their own books as art objects and performed for the community at the end of the week. Join us in  July 2010 for our next teacher institute.

In July 2009 Habla piloted a Summer Arts Lab School. Artists from the United States and Mexico taught a course around the concept of "Spaces." The goal of the course was for students to creatively explore this concept using different art forms.

Artists and educators visit Habla from across the Americas to partner with our teachers and to offer workshops and classes for the community.

Every day in our kids classes we focus on three things: Build Community, Read, and Create.
