Spanish School House Opens New Cypress Campus, Bringing Bilingual Education to Local Families
Spanish Schoolhouse has officially opened its doors at 8231 Greenhouse Road, Ste. 200 in Cypress, bringing its beloved Spanish immersion programs to families in the growing northwest Houston suburb. The expansion marks another milestone for the Texas-based school, which has empowered over 20,000 children with bilingualism and cultural fluency since its founding in 1999.
The new Cypress campus offers a range of programs tailored for early childhood and elementary-aged students, including full- and part-time preschool, kindergarten, summer camps, after-school Spanish classes, and the popular Mommy & Me class designed for toddlers and their caregivers. These immersive programs expose children to the Spanish language throughout their day, encouraging natural language acquisition through play, hands-on activities, and social interactions.
A Mission Rooted in Academic and Cultural Excellence
Spanish Schoolhouse was founded on the belief that bilingualism is a lifelong gift. Its curriculum combines academic readiness with immersive language learning and global awareness. Each day, students are surrounded by Spanish—not through rote memorization, but by being actively engaged in it through music, games, storytelling, and authentic cultural celebrations.
“Immersion simply means being surrounded by a language so it can be acquired naturally,” the school explains. “Children have an innate ability to learn language by hearing it spoken to them or around them… In this environment, communication happens spontaneously and conversation is key.”
Research continues to back the benefits of early language education. Studies cited by Spanish Schoolhouse show that children who learn a second language early not only have stronger verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills, but also improved memory, problem-solving, and even denser brain matter. Bilingualism has also been shown to delay cognitive decline and open up broader career and social opportunities in adulthood.

Visionary Founders, Lifelong Impact
Spanish Schoolhouse was co-founded by three visionary women, Josie Gerber, Mónica Ramirez, and Victoria Williams, who each brought a unique background and shared passion for early childhood education and bilingual learning. Gerber, originally from Lima, Peru, was inspired by raising her own bilingual children and wanted to help others experience the cognitive and cultural benefits of early language learning.
Ramirez, a native of Mexico City, sought to give her children a multicultural education, while Williams, an American who became fluent in Spanish through immersion, was driven by a passion for creating joyful, language-rich environments where young children can thrive.

A Growing Need for Bilingual Education in Cypress
As Cypress and the surrounding communities continue to grow and diversify, demand for early childhood bilingual education has surged. Spanish Schoolhouse’s Cypress location is meeting that need head-on, providing families with a trusted, research-backed approach to language learning in a warm, nurturing environment.
Research shows that bilingual children develop stronger problem-solving skills, enhanced memory, and greater cognitive flexibility. According to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, early language learners also tend to outperform their monolingual peers on standardized tests and demonstrate better academic readiness overall. These findings suggest that early bilingual education may contribute to improved academic performance and cognitive development over time.
For parents seeking a preschool in Cypress, Spanish summer camps, or a Mommy & Me program near me, Spanish Schoolhouse offers a unique educational experience that blends language learning with culture, creativity, and confidence-building.
