Expedition Spanish

Recommended Ages

PreK–12th grades

Expedition Spanish is a travel-themed Spanish curriculum that takes elementary and middle school students on a virtual journey through Spanish-speaking countries while they learn grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. Designed by language educators who value culture as much as conjugations, lessons weave in maps, customs, and real-life situations so kids see why the language matters. Parents appreciate the interactive format, structured progression, and clear teacher support, making it accessible even if they don’t speak Spanish themselves. It’s especially well-suited to learners who enjoy stories and global exploration. Families looking for a completely screen-free program may prefer another option, but for most, Expedition Spanish offers rich content and strong value.

This is ideal for PreK–12 learners who thrive with real teachers and peers, need accountability to show up, and enjoy movement, stories, and social interaction as part of language learning.

Pros

Secular homeschoolers often rave that Expedition Spanish’s live, small‑group classes with Señor Wolf are fun, immersive, and highly engaging, using stories, games, movement, and conversation to get kids speaking Spanish rather than just filling out worksheets. 

Cons

Downsides are the higher cost compared with apps, reliance on live online sessions (which can be tricky across time zones or for families with unstable internet), and the fact that shy or camera‑averse kids may initially find the live format intimidating.

Many ESAs and charters that fund live online classes will approve Spanish courses from vetted vendors like Expedition Spanish, especially when they provide syllabi and measurable learning outcomes. Families must follow their program’s vendor and registration process for funding.

$10 per lesson for live program or $25 per month for self-paced program for the whole family

Expedition Spanish Mission

Expedition Spanish’s mission is to provide immersive, story-rich Spanish classes for kids and teens that integrate language with culture, geography, and real-world topics. The program is built to serve homeschool families in particular, offering flexible online live classes and self-paced options that emphasize meaningful communication over rote memorization.

Expedition Spanish Story

Expedition Spanish was created when Dr. Sarah González, a Spanish professor and homeschool-friendly educator, saw that many online programs either felt too dry or too gamey for serious language learning. She designed cross-curricular lessons that weave in history, science, and stories from the Spanish-speaking world, then brought them online as small-group classes and self-paced “expeditions” for ages 4–18. Today, families around the world join live Zoom sessions, complete projects, and participate in full-immersion activities that make Spanish feel alive and relevant. 

About Modular Learning

FAQ: Additional Details about Expedition Spanish

At class time, your child logs into a small-group video call, greets their teacher and classmates in Spanish, and plays interactive games like “Simón dice,” virtual scavenger hunts, or story-building activities. You’ll hear laughter, see kids holding up drawings or objects, and notice their confidence grow as they start using Spanish spontaneously.

Expedition Spanish offers live and/or recorded Spanish classes designed for homeschoolers. Families enroll in a session at the appropriate level, then log into weekly online meetings where a qualified instructor leads games, songs, conversations, and cultural exploration. Between classes, students complete light practice or homework to reinforce vocabulary and structures.

Parents help with enrollment, tech setup, and reminders, and younger students may need help staying on task and practicing between classes. Some families schedule short daily review times to go over vocabulary and listen to kids share new phrases.

No prior Spanish is required for beginner levels; advanced classes expect comfort with basic greetings, simple sentences, and listening to teacher directions in Spanish. A stable internet connection, microphone, and quiet space are essential.

Expedition Spanish combines live teaching with interactive tasks, making it a good fit for kids who need human connection and accountability, including autistic or ADHD learners. Families should discuss sensory or social needs with teachers in advance so they can adjust participation expectations, camera use, and pacing.

Refund policies are set by Expedition Spanish. Commonly, programs allow full or partial refunds if you withdraw before classes begin and may offer prorated credit or no refunds after a certain date; check the current terms at registration.

It may not suit families who need completely self‑paced, on‑demand lessons, kids who freeze in group calls, or parents looking for a super grammar-heavy, workbook-style Spanish program.

Alternatives and complements include Homeschool Spanish Academy (1‑1 live tutoring), Calico Spanish or Beautiful Mundo for more scripted homeschool curricula, and Coffee Break or Mango Languages for flexible audio/app support.

The program periodically adds new levels, special-topic classes, and refined materials based on student feedback, and may offer recordings or self-paced options to complement live sessions.

Record or review class summaries, keep a simple vocabulary notebook, and encourage your child to use new phrases around the house (label objects, call pets in Spanish, narrate simple actions) between classes so the live learning really sticks.
