LanguageBird Summer Programs: Spend Your Summer Learning a Language and Earning High School Credit
Make the most of summer break. Earn credit, build fluency, and stay ahead.
Summer is the perfect time to tackle language learning. Fewer distractions. More flexibility. And the ability to earn a semester or full year of credit in weeks.
Why Learn Language Over Summer: Summer Language Credit Options
Get Ahead
Students enter the fall ahead of their classmates and free up their schedule for other courses during the school year.
Catch Up
Summer is the chance to recover credit without falling behind. Students get back on track before the new school year.
Prevent Learning Loss
Don’t let skills fade over break. Students maintain fluency and build on what they learned during the school year.
Explore a New Language
Summer is a great time to try a language the school doesn’t offer. Students can explore whether Japanese, Mandarin, ASL, or another language is right for them.
Move at Your Own Pace
Flexible scheduling with up to 4 lessons per week at convenient times. Students complete a semester in less than one month or spread it out around camps, travel, and family time.
Learn Through Projects, Not Just Textbooks
Fun, real-world projects build speaking proficiency while exploring the culture behind the language.
Proven Results
Over a decade of student success with native-level instructors from around the world.
