What parents say

Our kids started at L’Academy early this year and we started to see growth and development within a few weeks there. Not only are their language and vocabulary skills expanding but they’re also very curious and showing understanding and proficiency in the mandarin immersion the school offers- a language not spoken at home. The teachers and staff are also wonderful with the kids - and our kids come home and talk about…

We’ve had such a great experience at L’Academy in Hayes Valley. The teachers are super kind and really care about the kids, and our son genuinely loves going every day. It’s been awesome seeing how much he’s learned, especially with the language immersion. The space is clean, fun, and well run, and communication with parents has been really solid. We feel really lucky to have found this place - highly recommend!

I had a chance to take a tour with the director, and she was wonderful! As first a first time parent I asked a lot of questions. Leny was so open, communicative, and friendly. Not to mention the school is very clean and well maintained. Too bad the school is school is a little too far for our family, but I would definitely recommend!
