Afterschool Programs
Starting from August 16, 2021, Bay Language Academy is thrilled to resume its on-site after-school enrichment program. Our primary objective is to provide our young learners with a well-rounded curriculum that balances theory and practice. In addition to language classes, students will have the opportunity to participate in enriching art classes and engage in a diverse range of indoor and outdoor activities, all while receiving homework assistance.
The new school year is now underway, and after the past few years of uncertainty, we understand the concerns many parents have about returning to school and after-school activities during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Rest assured, we are committed to creating a safe, joyful, and comfortable environment for our students. Parents, caregivers, or friends can drop off the students in the morning. Upon arrival, students will have time to refresh and enjoy snacks before being grouped based on their language of choice, art class, homework assistance (covering subjects such as Math, Science, English, Social Science, History, and more), educational activities, outdoor play, and dedicated language exercises. Our language options include Mandarin, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, French, Arabic, Italian, and English.
Our academic calendar closely follows the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) calendar, with early openings on minimum days and camp options on most non-school days.
At Bay Language Academy, our dedicated instructors are professional, university-trained, and native speakers. They take immense pride in immersing students in foreign languages and are trilingual, passionate about language education, and highly qualified. Our teaching team includes linguists with Bachelor's degrees and certifications, credentialed teachers, and educators with advanced degrees, including Masters and doctorates. Their shared commitment is to provide our students with high-quality language instruction within a relaxed and engaging learning environment.

- Attend their language class of choice
