Has anyone tried their online offerings? I’m looking for something to supplement a 7 year old’s Spanish and French learning. Thanks! Any other suggestions welcome!

I have experience with Spanish and reading program at the actual school for almost 3 years, and their immersion Spanish is great, great teacher. My kids are 6 and 8 and they’ve continuing online since shutdown- additional sheets prior the class and homework and actual summary of what they are learning.

Thanks! This is OP - we did the in person camps for a few years and my child really liked them. We were about to sign up again when the pandemic hit, and I wasn’t sure how it would translate to online. Maybe we will try it.

Beware of positive posts from kids language arts. The owner has been known to impersonate customers for years on this board. If you search kids language arts you will notice that the writing is very similar in all the positive posts

Same here, we are in weekend classes for French and my daughter has been happy there, but not tried online. I’m assuming that kindergarteners + is fine but probably half day.

We've taken classes there as well and definitely think it's a good program... currently doing it online/virtual and it really helps that one parent is fluent in the target language, basically sitting in like a teacher's assistant at home.

Kids language arts can not justify their high prices for virtual instruction.The business caters to rich families who have lots of disposable income. They are located in downtown McLean. I guarantee the bulk of the high tuition is going to rent vs quality teachers. If you want virtual language instruction look into outschool and do a cost by cost comparison of both offerings

Yes! My daughter used to be in the French afternoon program, but with the current situation, her class got moved online and it’s been great! It is essentially the same class, just conducted virtually on Zoom. The teacher is fantastic despite the transition to online learning, I highly recommend. My daughter is 6 for reference.

Are all by the same poster. Ironically, that poster reported this post:

Ha! Thanks for the transparency Jeff! Its like fake reviews on Amazon. So frustrating!

Hi,
I wouldn’t think that they need any fake reviews.My son has been taking French for the last 2 years and it’s one of his favorite classes. He’s not doing online classes because we are a screen-free home and he’s too young for online classes, so can’t speak to that.
The owner and her great team of professional educators care about the children’s learning and well being, they even provided tips on how to improve my child’s learning at home. The owner is willing to offer flexible options or a make up class whenever we were unable to attend a class on site. I even referred a good friend of mine to the school and she has been satisfied with the quality and professionalism of the program. Before the pandemic hits, I remember that the owner was able to offer tryout class for a low cost, that’s how I signed up for my son.

Jeff just provided evidence that the same person is posting (to request help) and then responding to said posts. If you choose to believe that it’s not the owner posting (or someone else with a vested interest), then that’s your choice.

I choose to believe facts and reason.

I’m not a regular but we do camps which are excellent. I am not interested arguing it but found it very interesting.

Jeff-would it be possible to post a list of vendors that you are aware of who falsely advertise on your site? Myself and a lot other parents make decisions on where to send our kids based on feedback on your site and it is very disheartening to know that certain vendors are abusing our trust and creating fake threads in order to get business. Thank you for calling out such deceitful practices when you see it

I am speaking for myself based on my own experience with the school. Having a lot of positive feedbacks does not necessarily mean that the business is fake. I understand in these times some people are willing to do anything to get customers but I only speak for what I know. Providing a good feedback is the least I could have done for this school, now people are free to believe it or not but just don’t ruin the reputation of the business because of your suspicious thoughts.
