Qué Tal After-School Spanish Program

Heilicher partners with Qué Tal (pronounced “ke tal”), a highly sought-after language school that provides extra-curricular Spanish lessons in many school districts in the Twin Cities metro. Qué Tal’s native Spanish-speaking teachers integrate culture, music, games, and history into their lessons with a goal to give students a solid foundation in Spanish verbal comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. Private tutors are available for individual or small group lessons after school at Heilicher. Learn more at www.quetalwayzata.org.
