Introducing Our Dual-Language Program
GET STARTED

Bohemian La Barra

Nestled within Punta del Este, La Barra offers families a serene atmosphere, rich in natural beauty and vibrant culture.

With sun-drenched beaches, abundant marine life, and a lively arts scene, La Barra is a place for families to connect, explore, and unwind together. Its location in Uruguay offers a convenient time zone for families balancing remote work with adventure, making it an ideal choice for an immersive Boundless experience.

English and Spanish

Two Languages. One Unforgettable Learning Experience

Spanish Class

Starting Fall 2026, La Barra will become the first Boundless destination to offer a Spanish-English dual-language program, designed for families who want their children to grow academically, culturally, and confidently while living abroad.

Dual Language

Throughout the day, educators lead activities in Spanish and English, to support a dual-language experience. This supportive approach means children have the opportunity to hear and speak two languages during the full Education program.

Integrated Learning

The program integrates language naturally into all routines and adventures, rather than separating it. This means your child will learn Spanish much the same way they learned their first language: by doing.

Life-changing!
Great service, outstanding and strong community, for new or long term members. If you are not sure yet but believe you can take the leap and experience it, do it. Eye opener, heart growing experience.
