Testimonials
“Our child attends the Continuing Education International Language Program, and he and us as well, are simply delighted. He can't wait for Wednesday evenings, to learn in a very relaxed, fun way, and see the teacher and his fellow students. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and skillful in passing along the info to the young people."
-Dorota S., parent
“This program is a shining example of how language education can be both academically enriching and personally transformative. The professionalism of the administration, the quality of instruction, and the supportive atmosphere all contribute to a program that I would highly recommend to any student or family considering a secondary-level international language course. The teacher’s dedication and the program’s overall excellence have made a lasting impact. It’s more than a class—it’s an opportunity to build confidence, expand horizons, and develop skills that will benefit students for years to come.”
-Russell R., student
