An Unparalleled Online Experience for All Language Learners

LanguageBird gives students the opportunity to master world languages online, at their own pace, and on their own time, while earning high school credits that can be used toward graduation requirements and college admissions.

The High School Program is a perfect match for students who want to study a language not currently offered at their school or for those who want to demonstrate an advanced level of proficiency beyond that normally achieved in high school. Students also have the ability to slow down or accelerate their learning as needed, making LanguageBird a great fit for students with diverse learning needs.

Transcripts are provided upon request and may be sent to high schools and colleges. We are accredited by WASC and Cognia and our courses are approved by the NCAA and University of California.

High School Programs

All LanguageBird High School programs are accredited. Tailor your student’s learning journey by selecting one of our three program options. 

Instructional Lessons:

These lessons focus on teaching new concepts, building foundational skills, and guiding students through structured language learning. Every program includes the same number of instructional lessons.

Why LanguageBird?

Each student comes to LanguageBird with different and unique needs and at different stages in their language-learning process. Our courses move as fast or slow as needed and the curriculum is tailored to specific strengths, weaknesses, and areas of interest.

Students meet with the same instructor each time, building a relationship and improving their skills. Instructors can evaluate students over time based on personal progress.

There is no better or faster way to learn than private lessons with an expert instructor. Students often prefer the one-to-one format of LanguageBird courses rather than a traditional classroom setting. We can even customize curriculum to meet students at the highest levels so there is no limit to learning!

“I’ve always wanted to learn a language that meant something to me. Since I have family in Germany, it has been my dream to visit there. Having a native-level speaker who really cares about helping her students learn and being taught one-on-one, have both helped me reach my goals.”
