¡Mucho Más! is an educational program of Conexiones Institute, a triple bottom line social enterprise dedicated to advancing equitable and sustainable globalization through educational programs, publications and productions that facilitate intercultural understanding, cross-cultural communication and international collaboration. ¡Mucho Más! Spanish Immersion Program is an important part of this vision because the U.S. children of today will be global leaders tomorrow and we believe that if they are exposed at a young age to a second language and culture, they will grow up with a deep understanding and appreciation of diversity and equality. Bilingual children tend to think more globally and be more accepting of change and differences. We believe this is an important asset for future citizens to have in order to advance long term sustainability, coexistence, and peace in a rapidly globalizing world.
