California Language Academy was founded in July of 2010 with the mission of
providing personalized, intimate, and engaging language learning services.
Together, we have established high-quality, family owned and operated
language schools that offer small class sizes to meet the individual needs of each
student’s learning goals and objectives. We employ highly-qualified and
dedicated instructors and our comprehensive curricula are designed to build
students’ skills and self-confidence when communicating in English, or a foreign
language, in an academic or professional setting.
California Language Academy is passionate about the success
of each of our students.
