"Yak Academy has been a wonderful experience. It's something we look forward to each week."
The "yak" just keeps on coming! As promised, here's more testimonials from even more parents.
"We are extremely pleased with the Spanish classes at Yak Academy. My kids get so excited to come to class. In fact, I have never seen them so excited about anything else. The way the class is set up is so fun, yet still educational. My only regret is that I did not get them into it sooner."
Marianne Drescosky, mother of Colton & Brock
“It is important to us that our daughter learn Chinese. We believe it will give her advantages in life now and in the future. She had been speaking Spanish in preschool and with her nanny for 4 years, so we wanted to broaden her horizons. Our daughter has been learning and speaking Mandarin for about a year now. Our daughter now speaks Chinese better than Spanish, gets excited about class, and has a better world perspective. We even see that she is more social, respectful, and accepting with others. Yak Academy’s program and teachers are top notch. The fun immersion environment they create makes all the difference!"
Karen Magner, mother of Karma
“When my daughter started Kindergarten, her Spanish teacher commented on her vocabulary base and excellent pronunciation. Although I’ve always believed in the Yak Academy program and thought my daughter was learning a lot, I was so delighted that her teacher recognized it as well! Thanks Yak Academy!”
Stephanie Surowiec, mother of Madeleine
“My son can’t wait to come to class each week. He studies his Spanish vocabulary words when traveling in the car. He’s always so excited to show his teacher how he’s improved and show off what he knows during his presentations.”
Liesel Folden, mother of Jared
"We have had a fantastic experience, far above expectations for an introductory language class. The kids (2 and 4 when they started) are now routinely incorporating Mandarin into their daily speech and ‘showing off’ how much they know! I love that they say ‘Yeah!!’ when I tell them it is time to go to Chinese school. My only regret is that we can't get there more often!"
Michele Dee, mother of Blake, Zeke and Ali
"As a home-school mom, I had been looking for an immersion-based Spanish program for my girls and I searched for months before I discovered Yak Academy. What really impressed me about Yak Academy is the energetic, enthusiastic atmosphere in which the children learn. My husband and I are very pleased and we will continue to endorse Yak Academy as the perfect place for children to learn a second language."
Isabella Cook, mother of Amber and Sarah
"We love your program!!!! We love your staff - the energy they all have and how much they enjoy children. The curriculum and handouts are great to review at home and fun for the kids to color. The songs are to melodies the children and parents are familiar with."
Maria Biederman, mother of Ethan and Elyssa
“I cannot express how important our experience with Yak Academy has been; from Remini’s first word to Justice’s enthusiastic complete Spanish sentences! The staff here are family and they have created a springboard for learning.”
Allison Tillotson, mother of Justice, Remini and Lachlan
"Alex loves your programs and the teachers. Yak Academy makes language acquisition FUN--she is learning Mandarin while singing songs, playing games, and talking about everyday things that she finds interesting."
Debra Payne-Walz, mother of Alex
“Elizabeth can now read and write words in Spanish and understands almost everything she hears. The best part is that she has no accent when she speaks! Her Spanish “r” is flawless, and she can imitate the exact sound of the words without effort."
Erin Loeher, mother of Elizabeth
