Our Approach

We believe learning multiple languages is more important than ever in today's global community. Languages are an important stepping stone for a deeper understanding and appreciation of other cultures. For students in Pre-K through Grade 12 (ages 4-18) and adults (beginners & advanced), our language classes focus on a holistic, hands-on learning experience based on academic excellence and individual growth.

Our mission is to provide academically excellent, age-appropriate instruction in the respective language, its literature, and culture in an immersive environment that offers students unlimited opportunities to speak with native speakers.
