Two Schools in Bergen County
Years as a Leading Provider of Language Education
PK - 12 Spanish, Italian, French and Arabic Immersion
Do you speak another language at home but can’t get your child to converse in your heritage language? You are not alone. Children learn best when language is absorbed within a cultural context and while they’re busy having fun with other children their age.
Awaken your child’s senses to their family’s language and cultural heritage. Children’s brains are like sponges and it is best to start early.
Whether you’re looking for group language classes or individual instruction, we’ve got you covered. Language learning is a lifelong journey. Learn about our year-round language enrichment programs and summer day camps!
Does your child have a hard time separating or perhaps you would like to support your child in learning a new language? Make it a family affair and join us for a Parent & Me PreK I class specifically geared for your discerning 2 and 3 olds!
Give your child the gift of a language for Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Learn about our systematic approach to assessing and placing students in grade and level appropriate classes.
Individualized programs are also available for learners who place outside of their grade range.
Come learn from a team of instructors whose native tongues originate from diverse cultural backgrounds where the language is spoken. Our personalized and immersion based approach to teaching languages ensures positive outcomes.
