Easy for parents to teach
Open-and-go lesson plans and video-based teaching support help parents guide Spanish learning even without a Spanish background.
Calico for homeschool
Spanish your family can start today.
Calico Spanish gives homeschool families open-and-go lessons, animated songs, video stories, games, and colorful support materials built for learners and easy for parents to teach.
A family license covers your household, so siblings can learn from the same curriculum license at their own pace.
Designed for real homeschool days
Use the Calico Spanish curriculum as a scheduled subject, a short language loop, a multi-child family activity, or a flexible Spanish thread that fits around the rest of your week.
Lessons kids look forward to
Songs, recurring characters, stories, games, and visual materials give learners context and repetition without turning Spanish into a worksheet-only subject.
One license for the family
The homeschool family license is built for households, meaning all of your elementary learners are covered under one subscription.
