Empowering America Through Bilingual Spanish Education
Join us in bridging language barriers and unlocking international opportunities. Explore how bilingual Spanish education can empower Americans to compete globally and embrace diverse experiences.
We promote bilingual Spanish education in the United States so Americans can better compete in the global economy and have more enriching international experiences.
The United States is one of the only developed countries in the world that doesn’t have a bilingual population. We’re working to change that.
Throughout the developed world outside of the United States, children are taught in the native language of their country as well as a second language. By making bilingual education available to everyone, their citizens are able to better compete in the global economy and maximize enriching international experiences.
Spanish America strives to make bilingual education in Spanish available in the United States so Americans can better compete in the global economy and have more enriching international experiences.
