Spanish Schoolhouse Fort Worth

Spanish Schoolhouse Fort Worth is a Spanish immersion preschool and early childhood education center located at 6789 Camp Bowie Blvd in the Ridglea Hills neighborhood of Fort Worth, Texas. Serving families since 2011, this established school prepares students for traditional, private, and dual-language elementary schools including Fort Worth ISD dual language programs.

School Overview:

Spanish Schoolhouse Fort Worth provides comprehensive Spanish immersion education for children aged 12 months to 5th grade. Operating Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, the school offers core programs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM with extended care options. The facility maintains small classrooms with nurturing staff and individualized instruction approaches.

Special Needs & Inclusion Policies:

Spanish Schoolhouse Fort Worth explicitly welcomes students with disabilities and does not discriminate based on learning differences. The school makes reasonable modifications to support inclusion unless it would fundamentally alter their educational services. Families must disclose medical or physical conditions during registration, and staff may request meetings to understand and plan for each child's specific needs. Accommodations include allergy action plans, emergency medication management, indoor/outdoor activity support, flexible drop-off and pickup arrangements, and tailored behavioral support plans.

The school uses Love and Logic positive behavior management with a staged approach for behavioral and developmental differences. Potty training is typically required by age 3, unless due to diagnosed disability (accommodations available through director consultation). The sensory-rich, experiential learning environment with social play focus is particularly beneficial for many neurodiverse learners.

Language Immersion & Alternative Learning:

The 100% Spanish language immersion curriculum combines academics with hands-on learning, cultural celebrations, music, art, and social skill-building. This approach emphasizes bilingualism, global citizenship, and cognitive development through research-backed methodologies. Daily activities include music and movement, multicultural festivals including Hispanic Heritage celebrations, and family engagement events.

• Preschool (18 months - 4 years): Full Spanish immersion with developmental focus

• Mommy & Me (12-24 months): Parent-child bonding through Spanish exposure

• Summer Camp (2-8 years): Immersive seasonal programs with special approval for younger children
