Language Schools

NAICS 611630 · Educational Services · SBA size standard: $20.5 million average annual receipts

Language schools run group classes, private lessons, corporate training and immersion programs. They turn inquiries into enrollments, build term schedules that match instructors to rooms and students, track daily attendance and skill progress, prepare aligned lesson materials, manage proficiency assessments, maintain instructor credentials, and prepare required student records and reports. The specialists keep recurring schedules conflict-free, match materials and tests to specific curricula or exam standards, and generate the paperwork needed for international students while the school director and instructors confirm every placement, advancement, contract and official filing.
