Homeschool Spanish Academy

Recommended Ages

K-12th Grades

Homeschool Spanish Academy (HSA) is a live online Spanish program designed for homeschool students, connecting learners with certified instructors in Latin America for one-on-one or small-group video lessons. Classes follow a structured curriculum but are tailored to each child’s level, pace, and interests, with regular conversation and feedback. Parents appreciate the flexible scheduling, detailed progress reports, and immersive, accent-rich instruction. While it’s a paid service, many families find HSA comparable to or more affordable than local tutoring, with the added convenience of home-based lessons.

A strong fit for older elementary through high‑school students who are ready for guided conversation, do well with structured appointments, and prefer interactive speaking practice over app‑only vocab drills.

Pros

Live, one‑on‑one online Spanish lessons with native‑speaking teachers give kids consistent conversation practice, flexible scheduling, and the chance to earn high‑school credit while building real‑world communication skills; many homeschool parents say it’s the first time their kids truly speak Spanish with confidence. 

Cons

As with any live tutoring platform, the experience depends on internet stability and teacher fit; families may need to try a couple of instructors to find the best match, and it works best for kids who can stay engaged on video calls.

HSA explicitly notes that it accepts charter‑school funds and currently works with more than 20 charter schools across the United States; families using ESAs or other funding programs should check whether Homeschool Spanish Academy is already an approved vendor or can be added. 

Ranges from $13.20 per 25-minute class to $336.97 for 30 classes. Paired classes with two students also available.

Homeschool Spanish Academy Mission

Homeschool Spanish Academy exists to give homeschool families truly conversational Spanish through live, one-on-one lessons with certified native-speaking teachers, blending flexible online scheduling with a structured curriculum so kids can build real fluency and cultural understanding rather than just memorizing vocabulary lists.

Homeschool Spanish Academy Story

Founder Ron Fortin first went to Guatemala to serve as a school principal after a career in the Marine Corps and corporate IT; seeing both the need for high-quality jobs for local teachers and the desire among US homeschoolers for authentic Spanish instruction, he began connecting families with Guatemalan educators for live video lessons and over time built Homeschool Spanish Academy into a full online school offering leveled courses for children, teens, and adults with responsive customer support and detailed progress reports.

About Modular Learning

FAQ: Additional Details about Homeschool Spanish Academy

A typical lesson starts with your learner logging in a few minutes early and checking that their headset and camera are working. Their teacher greets them warmly in Spanish, eases into conversation about their day, then introduces new vocabulary or grammar using slides, on‑screen worksheets, and lots of real conversation. You might hear laughter as they play a quick game, practice new phrases, and end with a brief review and reminder of the next class.

Homeschool Spanish Academy (HSA) offers live, one‑on‑one or small‑group online Spanish lessons taught by certified, native‑speaking teachers in Guatemala. Families purchase a package of lessons for a child’s level, schedule 25‑ or 50‑minute classes through an online calendar, and then meet with the same teacher on a regular weekly rhythm via video chat. Homework, review notes, and progress reports are provided through HSA’s portal, so you can count the course toward foreign‑language credit in middle or high school. 

Younger children often benefit from a parent nearby to help with tech issues or occasional translation, while older learners can usually attend class independently; parents typically review progress reports, sign off on homework time, and verify that work lines up with their transcript needs.

Students need a reliable internet connection, a quiet space, and a device with a camera and microphone; early‑elementary learners should be comfortable sitting and engaging with a teacher on screen for at least 25 minutes, while high‑schoolers should be ready for note‑taking and regular homework.

Homeschool Spanish Academy’s live 1‑1 lessons with native speakers are very customizing‑friendly: pacing, interests, and expectations can be tailored around ADHD, autistic, or anxious learners. Families can request teachers who are especially patient, visual, or flexible, and keep sessions short or camera‑optional if needed.

One‑to‑one live instruction can be ideal for 2e kids—teachers can slow down for working‑memory or processing needs while still pushing conversational depth for gifted language learners. Families may want to ask for lots of visuals and chat support if auditory processing is a challenge.

Homeschool Spanish Academy offers a limited money‑back guarantee and allows families to request refunds or reschedule unused classes according to its purchasing terms; because the details can change, it’s important to read HSA’s most current refund and expiration policy before buying a large package.

Not ideal for families wanting screen‑free, workbook‑only language learning, or for very young children who struggle to attend to a live online teacher for 25–50 minutes at a time.

Complement or substitute with programs like Homeschool Languages, Foreign Languages for Kids by Kids, Mango Languages, Duolingo, or local conversation groups to provide more immersive or budget‑friendly options.

HSA continues to expand its programs, offering tailored tracks for preschool through high school, school solutions for co‑ops and brick‑and‑mortar schools, and an online portal that makes it easier to manage siblings’ schedules and track credits. 

Use HSA for speaking and listening, then reinforce between lessons with label‑the‑house games, Spanish‑language picture books, and short daily review of notes or flashcards so the live time is spent using language, not re‑learning it.
