WHERE
TO START
The Academy has a wide range
of programs for children, adults, private schools,
and corporations.
Kids The Academy of Foreign Languages
teaches children of all ages, from infants to
college students. We are proud of our kids - they
are often the best students in class. The classroom
atmosphere is relaxed and non-competitive, with
each student working at his or her own pace. In
the Mini Academy your child will
be exposed to the sounds, rhythms, and rhymes
of the language, learning basic vocabulary about
themselves and their environment through games,
songs, and role play. The teacher is there to
recognize individual learning styles and help
your child to blossom. A variety of learning tools,
such as playing games native to the culture studied,
helps with language acquisition. We encourage
students to correspond with pen pals, writing
in the language they are learning.
