Instituto Cervantes is a not-for-profit organization created by the Spanish government. Its mission is to promote the language and culture of Spanish speaking countries. Instituto Cervantes works in collaboration with other institutions in organizing cultural activities such as lectures, book presentations, concerts and art exhibitions. The language center offers adult classes in Spanish that are aimed at developing the students’ ability to understand, speak, and read and write in Spanish. The program for children (ages 4-6 and 7-10) and preteens (ages 11-13) is designed to meet the creative needs of children from both Spanish-speaking and non-Spanish-speaking backgrounds. Games, songs, multimedia, and arts and crafts encourage children to develop their communication skills. The program for teenagers (ages 14-17) is specifically designed to meet the needs of teenage students, students learn the language in a way that relates to them, thus helping make it more interesting for them. All multi-cultural courses include materials from both Spain and Latin America. Summer Camp runs from July to August and is composed of five 3-hour sessions, Monday-Friday, for one week. Courses run every week and start each Monday. Registration begins May 1. Students may attend as many or as few of the courses as they wish.
