Our Mission

OLA has been a seamless partnership. We have worked with OLA to provide English classes to our families who do not speak any English at all. When we initially started, I remember thinking, “If we can get twelve people to come, I will be excited.” The first time, we had seventy. That was a surprise for me because when we normally do programs, it’s hard to get parent involvement. So, to see the many families invested now in this program, I know that it was something we wanted to spend our time on. Seeing these families now, continuing level after level and feeling more comfortable, we are so proud of them and how brave they are. Thank you OLA Language School for helping parents in our community learn English! 

By partnering with OLA, Paulding County School District has opened up new lines of communication with our immigrant parents. In addition to learning English, our parents have the opportunity to learn new ways of interacting with our community and with their children at school. Thank you, OLA!

OLA Language School has proven to be a valuable resource in our community. From English classes for parents to Spanish after-school programs, I am thoroughly pleased with the diverse offerings and the positive impact they have on our community.

We are proud to be one of the few public elementary schools in Bartow County that support foreign-language education through OLA Language School. OLALS’ teachers really care about their students and are committed to providing an atmosphere that promotes second-language development. Perfecto for a Spanish Class!

I really like the English classes for parents with OLA Language School. They teach useful language skills, helping me talk better with my children’s teachers and be more involved in their  school. The teachers are really nice. I recommend it to other parents too.

“I finally found this language school after searching around a lot, hoping to not have to drive into Atlanta for classes. I’m so glad I found them because I absolutely love this school. The teachers are truly professionals, not just someone who speaks Spanish. The small class sizes are great, and the classes are flexible and fun. And it’s been an easy process doing online distance learning now too”

“My husband and I began taking Spanish classes at OLALS to better communicate with native Spanish speakers, but we never anticipated learning so much in the process. OLA Language School Spanish classes are focused on developing conversational and interpretive skills. We highly recommend OLALS’ face-to-face classes as well as the online option”
