A magnificent school. Amazing Spanish immersion program. My boys couldn't be happier!

Our daughter is so happy. She is making so many friends and tells me all the fun things she does every day!


The director and all the staff at Intiwasi have always been so kind, helpful and nurturing with my daughter. So grateful that we found Intiwasi!


All the teachers and staff are super sweet and caring. Coming from a multi-cultural house, I really appreciate the diversity that Intiwasi's environment offers both in term of students and of staff ( The staff is from all over Latin America + Spain and they are 100% native Spanish speakers.)

I have two of my kids attending Intiwasi and we couldn't be happier. They don't only learn Spanish but I know that they are cared for by truly nice people that love what they do. My kids have been enjoying going to Intiwasi and in most drop off they don't look back to say goodbye anymore and walked right in.

My Daughter Elle couldn't be more happy to see her friends every day! And she comes home speaking Spanish too! - It's wonderful! The team on site is wonderful and very communicative!

I can’t rave enough about this program and how grateful I am to have found it. This is a gem of a school. They are so wonderful and so refreshingly human, and I can actually say my child is thriving again!

Our family loves Intiwasi. We especially love the Director, Karina, who is easy to talk to, honest and communicative. You can tell how much she cares about the school and the students. We feel taken seriously and like we're a partnership in our daughter's growth whenever we've talked to her.

Our daughter is so happy at Intiwasi. She is making so many friends and tells me all the fun things she does everyday! I also love how safe the school is--100% teachers are vaccinated, the kids & teachers wear masks and they are always washing hands....all the while having fun and just enjoying life!

Our 3 year old son George has really enjoyed it here! The staff has been great with him and it seems like they all really care about the kids and enjoy being there. All in all, highly recommend Intiwasi!

We had toured many other programs before finding this gem. Our criteria was a place that has a nice balance of indoor and outdoor space. Our 3-year-old is so happy there.
