K¹² Review by Anon

"DO NOT CONSIDER THIS SCHOOL. It will literally kill your child's academic record. My daughter attempted to attend her Junior year of high school, and we had to scramble for her to graduate once she returned to an in-person unified district school. Th.."
Unforgettable Languages Review by Edith
"This might be a nice supplement for languages with a Latin script, but stay away from it when learning languages that use other scripts. For Russian, it uses transliteration instead of teaching Cyrillic immediately, which I am not a fan of to begin w.."
