One partner. One coherent K–8 language journey.
Since 1982, IES has partnered with Bay Area schools to make world language instruction engaging, coherent, and sustainable. We bring Spanish and Mandarin programs that combine curriculum, methodology, assessment, and trained teachers in one partnership, built around your students, schedule, and community.
What School Leaders Gain
IES brings curriculum, methodology, assessment, and teacher support together as one system, not a patchwork of resources. Our ACTFL-aligned approach has been refined in Bay Area classrooms for more than four decades, and every program is shaped around your school's goals.
A complete system
Curriculum, methodology, assessment, and teacher support working together, built on our proven Six-Step Methodology.
Trained, supported teachers
IES recruits, trains, and coaches every Spanish and Mandarin teacher we place, so quality stays consistent all year.
How Partnership Pricing Works
Partnership rates start at $60 per hour. Every IES program includes more than class time. Your proposal covers:
Instructional time: the hours your students are in class.
Paid preparation time: lesson planning, materials, and assessment, scaled to class length.
Required rest periods, built in per California labor law.
Curriculum, teacher training, and ongoing coaching.
Rates are tiered by weekly hours, so larger programs pay less per hour. Tell us about your school and we will send a custom proposal.
