This seems like a good program, but can't' find any reviews.I saw one negative review for the one in McClean, but someone stated the one in Maryland is full immersion. Any insight about this program. I would love to hear more about it.

I have a friend who has a daughter in the spanish immersion program and sends her daughter here for aftercare and loves it... I hear nothing but good things. I'm considering sending my daughter for some of their saturday classes

The Facebook page has reviews by parents, all seem to be positive

The directors are nasty and greedy for both locations in md. They don't like kids. They seem like they're nice and friendly at first but they only want your money. I'm happy I took my son out of there.

This place isn't what it is cracked up to be. Make sure you sit through a session to see what you are getting into. Once they take your money, don't bother raising any questions or concerns. If you have the money to spend on this program, you would be better off investing in a private tutor.

My son has been attending the Maryland program for French for three years. I love it. Curriculum comes directly from France. He's had the same teacher and directors the whole time. Everyone is invested and responsive. My son is now above grade level in French. The trips are awesome - White House, embassies and Baltimore Children's museum. No place is perfect, I wish they opened earlier during the school year.

I'm interested in any new updates on this program. I've read Google and Yelp reviews and it seems about 50-50, in my mind. We currently have another before/aftercare provider. They claim to help with French, but as it turns out, in the aftercare program, they do not. My DD is happy there in the afternoon, but the mornings are hard for her since she has a late school and many of the schools that they transport to have already started. I took her to school one day and saw the CGR van. Loads of kids spilled out and they all looked happy, hence, my curiosity on this program.

My kids did the summer program at the Largo location. It was fine - they DO actually speak French. They weren't overjoyed with the program (too much like school), but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for before/aftercare.

Good to know. I have an appointment for a walk-through of the Largo location on Friday. The Bowie location is more convenient, but if it works, it works. Thanks for your feedback!
