We focus on a young child's "Window of Opportunity" to absorb a foreign language naturally, and we track the progress of each child. We offer our FunImmersion® programs in 10 Language Stars language centers, 8 satellite centers and over 100 public and private schools in the Chicago and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas. We have plans for additional nation-wide expansion.
