I have had the pleasure of sending both my kids to The Spanish Academy at East Cobb since they were 18 months old. That was seven years ago! The teachers here are wonderful, caring and just simply amazing. I always felt my kids were safe and happy with them, like they were with family. Both of my children graduated from the school's Kindergarten program prepared and equipped to succeed in public schools. I am so glad I found them when I did and that I was able to give my children just wonderful preschool years with such beautiful and amazing teachers. I am sad our experience is over but know if you need a great Spanish Immersion school, you don't need to look any further...The Spanish Academy at East Cobb would be a perfect choice! read more

We can't say enough positive things about this school. Our son started by going to the summer camp and then attending regular school days. The school is very interactive and has tons of events for parents and students to be involved. The director is very on top of everything and always accessible which is a plus in our book. Bonus our son has started using Spanish at home and around others which is impressive. The teachers by far are the best though we cannot say enough about how kind and patient they are and have been with our son. We highly recommend this plan to anyone who is looking to broaden their child's horizons. read more

I am very happy with this school. I'm a native Spanish speaker but my husband isn't, so I wanted our son to have more exposure to Spanish so that he can build on what I teach him and practice with others outside the home. I like that the school is small so there's plenty of attention for each child. I also like that the teachers are very affectionate and energetic. My son really loves to go to preschool and he loves his teachers, especially Sra. Natalia. I'm impressed to see how he's learning and speaking more Spanish... once in a while he'll start singing a song and it just makes me smile. I can't say enough good things about this school. If you're looking for a great Spanish immersion program, this is it, you won't be disappointed! read more

In the past 2 years, the owner of the school has made multiple attempts to get me to take down or modify my previous review; the last few bordered on bullying. Luckily I'm really good at ignoring these, and I am just getting around to responding to his post (I'm a busy working mom). Will - I am entitled to my opinion. Your business seems to be doing great based on how many locations I see opening up within churches in Atlanta. But I think I represented it accurately in that it is more of a mom's morning out program vs. an actual school. I took my own advice and hired a Venezuelan nanny and my child will be enrolling at AIS (an actual school) in the fall. I did feel used as a marketing vehicle (magnets! Lawn signs! Book bag that I had to pay for!). For parents looking for a more academic setting with immersion for their children, I'd recommend they look into AIS, Tabula Rasa, Atlanta trilingual school or international preschool. Their teachers have backgrounds in education. I'm keeping the 2 star review I gave before because I don't want to be petty - just honest. read more

The Spanish Academy is an amazing preschool and community. DeShea Brooks, who runs the school is a professional, compassionate, intelligent and personable woman. She is a mother of 3 young children, all of which have either graduated or presently attend the school. DeShea knows every family by name and is engaged in each child's experience during their time at TSA. My two daughters attend this school at the Buckhead Campus, a three year old and a Kindergartener. We are very pleased with the education they are receiving but equally important we are beyond impressed with the compassionate and humble atmosphere. Each teacher is very involved and loving to the children. Each child is so very happy to be at school which enhances there ability to learn and grow. I was appalled to see the review from the parent that expressed a negative experience in regards to TSA. Not only is her review false but it seems like a personal attack in some way. The bags that the children carry are little canvas totes that make it so easy for the parents and teachers to keep all of their belongings together. It was an additional cost but one that helps tremendously and the bag is reusable and can be carried on from year to year. The magnets were given away for free at orientation and were in no way pushed on us as parents to place on our cars. When you see a car with a TSA magnet it is because they truly believe in the value of the school and want to share and support the mission of compassionate bilingual education. Something else worth mentioning is how incredibly organized the school is, another false statement made by the negative reviewer. DeShea and the rest of the staff are extremely on point. I feel connected at all times to the school, the director, my child's teacher and the other parents. There are families that drive long distances to give this education to their children. Many are not stay at home moms and are doing everything they can to give this education to their children. It is disrespectful to those families and those mothers for that matter to say that this school is meant to be a break for stay at home moms. This is absolutely not true. The school is very affordable as well. If you are educated at all in the pricing of private preschool education and International or bilingual education than you would know this. It is clear that DeShea Brooks is passionate about providing this level of bilingual education to children and that she does a brilliant job using her money and energy efficiently to provide a safe, healthy, colorful and learning enriched environment for the community of TSA. We as a family are bilingual, my husband is a native speaker from Venezuela and we are very pleased with the level of Spanish education. The teachers are well trained and are native speakers and my children speak beautiful Spanish. WE are more than pleased with this preschool! I hands down recommend TSA to anyone who wants to give their child the wonderful gift of speaking Spanish. read more
