El Jardín is a four-hour drop-off Spanish immersion experience for children grades TK-8th located on our 2.4 acre plot at the Carpinteria Children’s Farm on the beautiful Carpinteria bluffs. The program studies thematic units, Spanish vocabulary, outdoor learning, sustainability, gardening, and art — all in a Spanish immersion environment. These are small group classes of up to 14 students per group, taught by our amazing and beloved Spanish teachers!
