Spanish Immersion Teacher – After-School Enrichment Program
Creative STEAM Academy | Laguna Woods, CA Part-Time | Monday–Thursday | 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Are you a creative teacher who is excited to share a second language through movement, conversation, art, games, and hands-on experiences?
Creative STEAM Academy is seeking an energetic and passionate Spanish Immersion Teacher to lead our after-school Spanish enrichment program for elementary grades.
We are looking for someone who can make learning Spanish feel natural, joyful, and meaningful. Lessons should bring the language to life through project-based learning, art, theatre, sports, games, songs, movement, storytelling, and real-world conversation.
This is not a traditional, worksheet-based Spanish class. Students should be speaking, listening, creating, building, acting, playing, moving, and using Spanish throughout each class.
About the Spanish Immersion Program
Our after-school Spanish immersion program meets Monday through Thursday from 2:15–4:00 p.m. Each day may feature a different theme or activity, while Spanish remains the primary language used in the classroom.
Students learn vocabulary, listening comprehension, and conversational Spanish through meaningful activities such as:
Hands-on projects and collaborative challenges
Art, painting, drawing, building, and creative design
Theatre, storytelling, skits, and role-playing
Sports, movement, songs, and interactive games
Real-life conversations and practical language activities
The goal is to help students become comfortable understanding and speaking Spanish while participating in engaging, age-appropriate experiences.
