Non-Discrimination Policy

Isabella & Ferdinand® Academia de Español™ is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. We admit students from all backgrounds and actively promote inclusion in every aspect of our program. We do not tolerate nor promote discrimination against any student, teacher, or employee on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, family situation, or political affiliation.

In alignment with the protections enforced by The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we are dedicated to ensuring equal access to education and cultural experiences. OCR prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization accredited by the Instituto Cervantes en Madrid, we uphold these principles by addressing key areas such as:

  • Access to Equal Education Opportunities

  • Equal Opportunities for Learners

  • Equal Rights to Education Regardless of Immigration/Citizenship Status

  • Race Discrimination in Special Education

  • Bullying and Harassment Prevention

  • Supporting Racial Diversity

  • Retaliation Protection

Our commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive environment applies to both our physical locations in Washington, D.C., and our online programs. Every individual at Isabella & Ferdinand® is valued, and we strive to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background.
