Introduction
SELA: The International Private School’s Norwell campus is a specialized early education center located at 137 Washington Street. The facility features fourteen classrooms designed with large skylights to maximize natural light, creating a bright environment for children aged three months to five years. The school operates on a full Spanish immersion model, where students learn all core subjects in Spanish to achieve natural fluency. In addition to language mastery, the Norwell site includes two age-specific playgrounds and a dedicated STEM curriculum that encourages hands-on experimentation. A signature offering is the early introduction of Mandarin, which is added to the curriculum to provide a trilingual foundation. For students seeking physical activity, the school hosts soccer and tennis sessions starting at age three. While the Norwell campus focuses on early global education, it serves as a feeder to the Hingham elementary campus, which extends the immersion experience through sixth grade.
