Foreign Guest Teachers

We host foreign guest teachers from Spain and other Spanish speaking countries.

Our cultural experience is beyond Spain! We host teachers who are native Spanish speakers from Spain and around the globe. English and Spanish teachers work together to create meaningful lessons and activities that incorporate the best of both worlds.

40% of teachers are first language Spanish speakers. A little less than that are foreign guest teachers that are actually from other countries and spend 1-5 years at NDPA.

The idea is that students who attend our school feel they are attending a high-quality school in a foreign country, with all the immersion programs and guest teachers. 

When students come to our school, it feels like an immersed experience in a Spanish-speaking environment. Those that give themselves to that idea, by 4th or 5th grade, are capable of transferring to a foreign country and attend a full day of school and would do just fine—they’ll be fluent in the language.
