Testimonials

The Ikastola is wonderful! I have had my two kids here for the last five years and it’s been great for them to learn Euskera! The skills that prepare them for Kindergarten are expected and achieved by every child. It’s been a great experience!”

We will sing Christmas songs in Basque and English. The story of Olentzero (Basque Santa) will be read, followed by a visit from Olentzero himself! Olentzero will then hand out gifts. To participate bring a wrapped gift for your child. Clearly print the child’s first and last name, along with the child’s age on the outside of the package.
