Parent Testimonials

  • "Thank you so much for making our daughter's experience wonderful, fun, and full of learning and developmental growth."

  • "The multi-language immersion was fantastic and really helped our daughter accomplish two things: 1. It helped her improve the German she is learning at school, and 2. she was able to acquire a lot more Spanish. And most importantly, she had a ton of fun."

  • "Casa de Sprachen with Fernweh Collective was our daughter's favorite of all the afterschool programs she's been involved in. And all the instructors were amazing, fun, and extremely kind to us and our daughter. We will continue with the program next year."
