About Polyglots
The word polyglot means a person who is able to use several languages. Here at Polyglots, our goal is to teach kids languages outside of the rigors of academic curriculum. Instead, we use a natural approach through fun activities like songs, stories, games, drama, science experiments and play. Children have so much fun that they don’t even realize they are learning a new language!
Currently here at Polyglots, we are teaching French and Spanish with teachers who are fluent in the language.
