Established in 1995, Foreign Language for Youth ("FLY") is a non-profit 501c3 organization that teaches Spanish, French, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese to students grades K-8. For 25 years, FLY taught in-person classes in 70% of the school districts throughout Puget Sound. In March 2020, FLY transitioned our curriculums to online and expanded our remote class offerings to students across the United States.
I like my class because we learn a great language and you can make some great friends.
