Who we are

Mission: At SpanOut Learning, our mission is to enrich the educational journey through hands-on, interactive experiences that spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. We introduce school-age learners to the Spanish language while nurturing critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and confidence.

We offer in-person learning programs serving families in Kitsap County, Washington, through two dynamic pathways: one focused on Spanish language acquisition, and one uniquely developed by SpanOut Learning—an innovative program that integrates Spanish with STEAM-based projects to inspire hands-on learning, creativity, and real-world language use. Both pathways provide engaging, developmentally enriching experiences that support cognitive growth and build learner confidence.

Vision: We envision a world where learners of all ages are empowered to explore diverse cultures and languages through meaningful, engaging education. While our current programs focus on Spanish and children’s education, our long-term vision is to expand into additional world languages and serve learners of all ages. We aim to cultivate global awareness, inclusion, and a love of lifelong learning across communities.

SpanOut Learning is more than an education provider. It’s a welcoming community where learners connect, grow, and thrive in an inclusive and inspiring environment.
