High Schools accept LanguageBird course credits.
Yes! LanguageBird is a fully accredited institution.
LanguageBird meets the highest standards of excellence and offers students and their families the peace of mind that comes with a premier private school experience. We are accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and Cognia. Both international accreditations are accepted at high schools globally. LanguageBird transcripts are recognized by colleges and universities worldwide.
Additionally, LanguageBird courses are both NCAA approved for athletes as well as University of California approved for California students seeking admission to UC/CSU campuses. College-bound, NCAA, and transferring students receive credit for courses completed with LanguageBird. For information on how to send transcripts, please see our FAQ page.
How do I get high school credit?
If you have not met your high school graduation requirements for world language, we recommend you talk to your school counselor and let them know you would like to take a LanguageBird course. Most college-prep high schools require 2 years of world language. Some high schools will have you fill out a concurrent enrollment form or ask you to send a transcript once your LanguageBird course is complete. We are happy to work with your high school administrator and counselors!

ESL Instructors
Our approach to education is personal and dynamic.
Innovative learning activities, students directed projects, and unique assessments engage students in the learning process. Instructors take notes during each lesson to share with students and evaluate students over time based on personal progress. We don’t believe in timed exams. We do believe in giving students the opportunity to present what they have learned in a format and environment in which they are comfortable. Final projects are presented to the instructor during the final lesson of the course along with any required written components.
Why choose an online middle school or high school language program?
Enrolling your student in a LanguageBird course offers greater freedom and flexibility for their learning than what is typically found in a traditional brick-and-mortar high school and middle school environment. All of our faculty are experienced instructors in the field of education, not just native-level speakers. Our trained, experienced instructors love to work with high school and middle school students. Students meet with the same instructor building a relationship and skills. Students use our courses to make more room in their daily school schedule to get ahead, make-up a class, or study a language not offered at their school.

Integration and multiculturalism are key elements of LanguageBird’s identity. We see languages as a way to unite people and enrich our students’ lives not only by the technical teaching of online language courses but also promoting cultural discovery. In this matter, ESL is no different than any of the languages we teach. In fact, we see English as a Second Language as a skill that is useful for everyone; even those who were born in the USA.
The Importance of Learning English as a Second Language
Learning English as a second language can be a life changer for your child’s life; both academically and personally. As for academics, ESL can give your child full knowledge of the English language to participate in school, college and university equally with native-level speakers. Furthermore, a full comprehension of the English language will have a positive impact on his or her life opportunities.
ESL allows your child to develop reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in English. But it doesn’t stop there. English as a Second Language affects the mastery of mathematics, science and social studies, as an integral part of your child’s academic goals. This is particularly fundamental in the earliest levels of education and has an influence on higher education and future career opportunities.
We shouldn’t ignore socialization and the development of interpersonal skills as they go hand in hand with learning English as a Second Language. With the guidance and support of good ESL tutoring, students can achieve personal and academic success. This success leads to confidence that is necessary to build relationships, communicate with teachers and participate in their communities.
Online ESL Classes at LanguageBird: What to Expect
LanguageBird’s online ESL classes provide a reading and writing program to engage students with texts and authors that are as interesting and exciting as achieving success in the learning process. LanguageBird’s content is specially chosen to enable students to practice and eventually produce meaningful prose in English.
LanguageBird’s online ESL classes are a combination of skill-building strategies and experiential, project-based learning methods that help students to develop their own craft of the English writing process. This process also includes a consistent, personalized feedback from experienced ESL tutors. These tutors know how important it is not only to teach English at a technical level but also in a way that develops students’ critical thinking and interpersonal skills to practice both in school and in the real world; a truly integral ESL learning experience.
Aside from this level of customization and academic excellence, LanguageBird also provides access to learning resources to support students’ learning and self- study: LanguageBird’s Language Resource Library; “Bird Bites” videos; “The Nest” series of 30-minute talk shows, and original articles from our online tutors.
Certificates of completion or transcripts can be provided upon request.

An Online ESL Instructor Lets Students Learn on their Time.
The life of middle and high school students is actually a full-time job. Between attending classes, studying, participating in sports, partaking in other extra curricular activities like playing an instrument or participating on the debate team, and doing volunteer work , there are also family obligations that play into life. This means a window of time to meet with an online ESL instructor can be minimal, and this is why middle and high school students need an online ESL instructor who will teach them, on their time, whether that is at 6AM, 10PM or on weekends. When you invest in a high-quality online ESL tutor, you get the freedom of learning at your convenience.
