Yak Academy, Redondo Beach | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Yak Academy is an incredible school run by a woman named Blanca and supported by excellent and caring teachers.  Both my kids have had classes with Mrs Maria and Karina whom we also love.

I have had two children in their program over the last 5 years taking Spanish.  My daughter is also now learning French…she wanted to spend more time there.

Most importantly, as parents, safety is always our number one priority.  I could not feel safer to leave our young ones in the care of Blanca and her team…they are like family to us now.  Seriously, could not trust anyone more.

From an education standpoint, both our kids by the age of 3 spoke more Spanish than I ever would have expected and are now bilingual.  The kids have FUN and they are learning new languages while singing, dancing and doing art projects.  We also love that the kids get to experience families from many different cultural backgrounds.

Yak has accommodated birthday parties for us and they go all out for holiday decorations and fun celebrations!

If you are a parent looking to provide your kids with a safe environment, where they can play, challenge their brains, and interact with other kids, then Yak Academy is really a great choice.

Yak Academy is a premier language school in the South Bay, and believe 100 percent in their Immersion approach through active play. As an educator and bilingual advocate, I am thankful for this school. My daughter, who is now a 1st grader at a Dual language program, was able to test in as a native Spanish Speaker thanks to the amazing and nurturing teachers at Yak Academy. I am proud to say that the foundations of language that she was effectively taught, had allowed for her to read above grade level in both Spanish and English, and she is now taking on French as her 3rd language — also at Yak Academy.

They are a small school who focus on providing the most nurturing and engaging environment for each child. They truly model differentiation, and teach with the students’ strengths, abilities, and interests as a focus. When you walk into the center, you are greeted with warm smiles; and leave with the comfort knowing that your child is safe and cared for.

Best of all— all teachers are native speakers from all over the world!

My family loves Yak Academy, and cannot wait to embark on a new language learning journey with our son who will be joining their Transitional 2s preschool program this summer!
