About Us
We are a Spanish speaking community school located in Leytonstone, East London, open every Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm during term-time. We welcome students of all ages, from reception level to GCSE and A-levels. In cases where enough mature students enroll, we also open a dedicated class.
Our goal is not just to teach the Spanish language but also to preserve and share the Spanish and Latin American culture. Whilst we primarily serve London's Latin American community, we're open to anyone who has an interest in learning Spanish or exploring our culture.
Beyond classes, we host coffee mornings and offer traditional Latin American food every Saturday during term-time. These events are for everyone - parents, children, and community members alike.
Additionally, we organize cultural parties a few times a year featuring traditional Latin American food, drinks, and a variety of Latin music and dance genres like salsa, merengue, and bachata.
With a proud history of serving the community for over 25 years, we invite you to come, enjoy a cup of coffee with us, and learn more about what we offer.

Testimonials
"As a mother, I feel very grateful to Gala Spanish School. For a good number of years, this was the Saturday space where my children had a pleasant, relaxed encounter with the Spanish language. Thank you Gala, for giving my two children the opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge to take their exams."
