Use your Alabama CHOOSE Act funds for live Spanish classes

CHOOSE Act awards are $7,000 per school-enrolled child, or $2,000 per homeschool child (up to $4,000 per family). Spend part of it on live Spanish with native, licensed teachers — private 1:1 or small groups.

How CHOOSE Act funds reach us

Payments come straight from your ClassWallet wallet — no out-of-pocket cost.

Funds sit in ClassWallet

Your CHOOSE Act award lives in a digital wallet you log into — no reimbursement paperwork.

“Pay Vendor” in ~2 minutes

Submit the invoice we email you each month and the funds come straight to us.

Run by the Dept. of Revenue

The CHOOSE Act is administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue — not the Department of Education.

Funds expire June 30

CHOOSE Act funds don’t roll over. Anything unspent by June 30 is gone, so it’s worth starting classes early in the year.

Alabama’s CHOOSE Act (Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education) is administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue. Eligibility, award amounts and allowable expenses are determined by the program under its published rules.

Two ways to learn

Choose the program that fits your child

Both are taught live by native, licensed teachers and billed month-to-month — no contracts.

Private 1:1 lessons

One dedicated teacher, one student. Lessons move at your child’s pace and lean on what they already love, ages 3 and up.

Same teacher every week

25 or 50-minute lessons, flexible times

Lesson notes after every class

Small-group classes

Brand new: your child learns alongside a few kids at a similar age and level, more speaking time than a classroom, more energy than studying alone.

Up to 4 students per class

Set weekly times, same classmates

Games, conversation and real practice

Why families choose us

Why Alabama families choose SpanishVIP

Participating school, homeschool or private school — CHOOSE Act families pick us for the same four reasons.

Real conversation practice

Kids speak out loud from the first class with a native-speaking teacher, not tapping through an app on their own.

Structured levels & materials

Kids speak out loud from the first class with a native-speaking teacher, not tapping through an app on their own.

Flexible weekly scheduling

Kids speak out loud from the first class with a native-speaking teacher, not tapping through an app on their own.

Small classmate groups

Kids speak out loud from the first class with a native-speaking teacher, not tapping through an app on their own.

How it works

Three steps from free class to CHOOSE Act-funded classes

1

Book a free class

Choose a time, share your child’s age and level, and meet a teacher. No card and no commitment.

2

Enroll month-to-month

Choose private lessons or a small group and how often they meet. Change or pause any month — no long-term contract.

3

Submit the ClassWallet invoice

Each month we issue a student-specific invoice, one invoice per child. Log into ClassWallet, choose “Pay Vendor,” select SpanishVIP and submit the invoice — about two minutes.

See the full ClassWallet walkthrough

Each enrolled child gets a separate invoice, so siblings can each use their own CHOOSE Act funds.

Parent reviews

What scholarship families tell us

4.9/5 from 600+ reviews on Trustpilot
★★★★★

Diligent and conscientious with both our kids.

Our two children have been taking classes for about 9 months now. They enjoy the classes every day, and they’ve learned a lot. Their teacher is very diligent and conscientious!
David Ellis, United StatesTrustpilot review
★★★★★

Patient, upbeat, and keeps her fully engaged.

My 7-year-old daughter had been reluctant to speak Spanish with me at home. I’m happy to see her loving the language now. Her teacher is very patient, upbeat, and successful keeping her attention.
Jackie Hanshaw, United StatesTrustpilot review
★★★★★

She enjoys her lessons and has learned so much.

My 2nd grader has had Spanish lessons daily for around 4 months. She enjoys her lessons and has learned a lot. I would recommend SpanishVIP to other families.
Kailana Burden, United StatesTrustpilot review
★★★★★

Great with our son, great with us too.

My 6-year-old learned Spanish with his teacher for two months and really enjoyed it. The class is fun, and we got great communication on our kid’s progress along the way.

The right fit for our middle schooler.

We found SpanishVIP to be the best option for our middle-school-age daughter. Her teacher is personable, friendly, patient, and engaging. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Questions

CHOOSE Act and payment questions

Everything Alabama families ask us before their first class.

Yes. SpanishVIP is an approved education service provider in Alabama’s CHOOSE Act program, administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue. We are also approved in the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account program, the New Hampshire Education Freedom Account program, the Wyoming Education Savings Account program (Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Program), and Missouri’s MOScholars program. Eligibility and allowable expenses are determined by your program under its published rules, so check your program’s handbook to confirm what your award covers.

Pricing is the same for every family, whether you are paying with CHOOSE Act funds or out of pocket. Private 1:1 lessons and small-group classes are both billed month to month, with no long-term contract. Current pricing is on our pricing page. Many Alabama families use their CHOOSE Act funds for live Spanish instruction, and your program’s handbook lists what your award can be spent on.

Each month we email you an invoice for your child. Log into ClassWallet, choose Pay Vendor, and submit the invoice. It takes about two minutes. We issue one invoice per child, and we never ask for your ClassWallet login credentials. The full walkthrough is in our ClassWallet ordering guide.

CHOOSE Act funds expire at the end of the program year on June 30 and do not roll over. Because our classes are billed month to month, you can start any time and stop any time, which makes it straightforward to use your remaining award before the deadline. Your program’s handbook has the current rules on award timing.

Yes. Each enrolled child gets their own invoice, so if you have more than one child with an award, you can submit each invoice separately in your wallet.

That is a common question, and program rules change. Many families use their CHOOSE Act funds for live Spanish instruction. Check your program’s handbook for the current list of allowable expenses. You are welcome to book a free class first, with no card and no obligation.

You’re still welcome. We offer the same classes at the same price to families paying directly. Program rules require us to charge scholarship families exactly what everyone else pays, so there is no scholarship-only pricing either way.
