Casa Hispana is a language and cultural resource center where everyone, including the local community, is welcome. Spanish courses, children's programs, folkloric dance performances, food tastings, and art exhibits are just a few examples of the events that take place at the Casa.
It is the place where you can stop for a coffee and be listened to and cared for no matter who you are or where you come from. Such is our Spanish hospitality and so it should continue.
Casa Hispana is open to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
¡Bienvenidos a Casa Hispana!
Non-Credit Enrichment SPANISH Courses
Nazareth University offers undergraduate credit courses and a Spanish major, as well as non-credit classes in the study of the Spanish language. Advanced students travel abroad to further their studies at universities in Latin America and Spain.
Non-credit courses allow working professionals to learn valuable skills that can help them advance their career opportunities. These classes also provide the flexibility to learn at your own pace and around your busy schedule.

Spanish Immersion Summer Camp
Campers will be immersed in the Spanish language and culture while enjoying different activities. Your child will be surrounded by the Spanish language throughout the camp day, enabling them to absorb and learn the language through natural interactions in camp games, activities, music, cooking, art, and more.
Our goal is to encourage the love of the Spanish language. Since all of our daily activities are conducted in Spanish, we use various strategies to help all the children understand, regardless of their level.

Which Program Fits You?
"Aprendo español jugando" Spanish Program for children
Welcome back!
The program is not designed to be a formal time of instruction of the Spanish language or its grammatical structure. Instead, children will be able to further develop their Spanish language skills by focusing their energy on playing without feeling the pressure of having to perfect their skills.
The games will be designed to help exemplify the correct use of pronunciation (speaking and music), spelling (books), and help with fluency. This will enable the children to gain a better understanding of the language and give them an opportunity to establish relationships with other children and people of the Community of Rochester who wants to speak the Spanish in order to practice and develop their skills through conversations and friendships.
Ages : 4 -9 years old
Saturdays,10:00AM to 11:00AM
Fall : Sept.16th - December 9th.
