Who We Are

FLY is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, since 1995. Our mission is to teach and instill a continued interest of foreign languages and cultural awareness in young students.

FLY has decades of experience teaching in-person language classes for kids. From 1995 – 2020, FLY grew to provide language and cultural instruction in over 70% of the school districts in the Puget Sound area, offering Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic and Japanese classes.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FLY pivoted to online learning and FLY’s passionate staff and teachers put our fun online to over 5,000 students nationwide.

Post-pandemic, FLY focuses on providing exceptional school-wide programs during the regular school day.

Why FLY

Our curriculum is based on the theory that children are active, social learners. Students learn through games, songs and other fun activities and can advance up through high school. Our structured and engaging curriculum has been tested by 18,000+ students and hundreds of teachers – and is continually evolving through feedback and addition of available technology.

Presentation Days

Presentation Days provide an opportunity for students to show off what they learn, and for parents to be a part of their learning experience.

Quality Teachers

All FLY Teachers are college educated, fun, engage with their students, and are fluent in their target language. All FLY Teachers have passed the same background checks applied to Washington State Public School teachers.

Fantastic Job

Thank you so much for everything you do with the kids, I can’t imagine how hard it is to teach Spanish online, but (my daughter) loves it, she speaks it here at home and teaches her Dad and I all of the new words. You are doing a fantastic job.

Great job

(FLY Teacher) held a high level patience and caring with all the children, I was always amazed at how she kept things going even when the some of children made it challenging. I made a point of checking in each week to observe my child secretly to make sure he followed up with my expectations for his behavior.  I saw first hand how dedicated she is to helping the kids get a head start in learning.  Great Job

Robust remote learning

I'm so glad, but not surprised, that FLY has developed such a robust language program for students.  This is the perfect time for children to learn a foreign language as remote learning affords more flexibility in schedules.  I would think that a lot of parents would be interested in this for their children.

Terrific Program

FLY has been a terrific program for our son- he is excited about going into Advanced Spanish in Middle School and earning High School credit. He has loved his five years in the program.

Learned a lot

It was so great to see how much [the students] have learned in such a short period of time! We loved your teaching style and interaction with the children, even though they were a tad shy with an audience I’m sure! It’s a fantastic program and [my daughter] absolutely loves it!
