Vancouver Academy of Music — Languages

My child, who is quite shy, started attending the Vancouver Academy of Music's language program for kids aged 5-7 last month. The small group size really helped her feel comfortable, and the instructor, Elena, was engaged and attentive. They worked on creative projects, including a fun skit that allowed the kids to explore different languages through role-play. It was a fantastic way for them to express themselves and improve their communication skills. My daughter particularly loved making a new friend during the activities, which made the experience even better. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic, with long lines that made it challenging to get her on time. Despite this minor annoyance, I would definitely recommend the program for parents looking for a supportive environment for their children to learn languages.

My son recently participated in the Vancouver Academy of Music's language program, and overall, we had a very positive experience. He is quite shy, but the instructor, Mia, did a wonderful job of engaging him and the small group of kids, creating a comfortable space for everyone. They focused on conversational skills through fun activities like role-playing different scenarios, which really helped him open up. However, I did find the pickup process a bit chaotic, with long lines forming, especially on the first day. It would be great if they could streamline that aspect. Despite this minor annoyance, the inclusive environment and the attention from the staff made it worthwhile. My son came home excited to share what he learned and even made a new friend. We're looking forward to continuing the program next week!
