Our mission…

The Lingua Franca Academy is an inspired school for young children, which considers the whole child with the respect and rights due to each individual. Based on a progressive model of early childhood education, The Lingua Franca Academy offers each member of the school community a unique educational experience, a beautiful environment rich with opportunities for growth and respectful, nurturing relationships.

Our Vision

Research shows there is a sensitive period from birth to  6 years when children’s brains are most receptive to developing language skills.  A child’s brain is open to learning as many languages as they’re exposed to.  After that time, children find it more of an effort to learn another language.
Kids who grow up bilingual are better at science, math, and grammar. It’s good exercise for the brain. Society is becoming more multicultural, and businesses are looking for people who can speak a foreign language.  Although many pre-schools provide some foreign language instruction, the immersion school is the first of its kind in Atlanta.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
