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

Curriculum aligned to ACTFL

A level-based path aligned to national proficiency standards, with placement assessment, progress reports and certificates you can keep on file.

Flexible weekly scheduling

Choose a regular weekly schedule based on teacher availability. Share your preferred days and times, and we’ll confirm the available options in Eastern Time before enrollment.

Personal attention

Your child has time to ask questions, practice pronunciation, and work through new ideas with a teacher focused on their learning.

MEET THE TEACHERS

A teacher who gets to know your child

Speaking a new language takes practice—and a willingness to try before every word comes easily. Our native-speaking teachers give your child a supportive place to do both. They introduce new concepts, model pronunciation, and guide conversation with encouragement and feedback.
