Foreign Language Academy

My child attends this school. He is in first grade now and went there for Kindergarten too. When he started he didn't speak any Spanish at all, he is comfortable reading, writing and speaking Spanish now. Both teachers he has had have been great, communicating with them is easy and they always try to have the parents involved.
