We are actively seeking two Spanish speaking Teaching Assistants for our El Jardin program in *Paso Robles.
*El Jardín exists to provide Spanish immersion in an outdoor learning environment where students experience learning Spanish language and culture, gardening/farming/nature studies, sustainability, and art.
We provide a small group setting with only *12 students per class *(pequenos and premeria).
Each program is led by one of our native Spanish teachers who needs the support of our amazing Spanish speaking Teaching Assistants.
“_The DNA of El Jardin is to incorporate Spanish immersion with gardening and art to create a program that really encompasses the culture of California_.
