I looked high and low, scouring the internet for reviews of local language classes offered by IFLA…read more I didn't find any... and now I know why. Bonjour: Back in January 2013, I attempted to sign up for a French I class. I emailed the organization asking about what textbook was used and they said they could not give me any specifics regarding the curriculum. Additionally, even though IFLA had many courses listed on the website as being offered for the specific session, they in fact, informed me that only Spanish I and Sign Language I were offered. Marhaba: Not giving up, in mid-May I registered for an Arabic I class which was listed as an offering on the IFLA website. I was very excited about the class, I gave IFLA my payment information, cleared my Tuesday evenings, and received a confirmation of the course. About a week after I received a confirmation email, I received a voicemail indicating that in fact they were not offering the Arabic I course due to a lack of enrollment. From what I can gather in my experiences with IFLA; lots of classes, at all different levels, are listed as being offered by IFLA each session. However, it is unclear as to whether any of those classes are ever actually taught. No wonder there are no Yelp or other readily available reviews of this program. Don't waste your time.

I love my beginning French class at IFLA. There are six of us in the class with a Parisian…read moreinstructor. The class moves quickly and is structured towards basic conversation - exactly what a tourist would need. I had to wait a few sessions before enough people signed up to offer the class, and it was worth the wait!

My little girl goes to this school and I can't say enough how polite and helpful the teachers and…read morestaff are there. This school is truly unique and really brings out the eagerness to learn and creativity in kids. They currently offer three languages (other than English) which are French, Spanish, and Mandarin (Chinese). The kids pick out one language other than English and are basically taught two languages during the school year. Children are awarded throughout the year in front of the school for specific traits the teachers notice and acknowledge. I'm proud of our little girl who does her very best that she can in such a wonderful and advanced place of learning! Jason Spangle Old Foundry Toy Works

The International School of Indianapolis located on 49th Street is an amazing Language School only…read more, as far as academics are concerned I think they rank near the bottom. It's my opinion that the teaching staff are language Specialists from their part of the world and not qualified to teach academics here in the US. I'm basing this review on the experience of my 3rd grader home achieve quite a bit from a language standpoint but suffered academically; my wife and I decided to remove our child after several meetings with the head of school David and principal at that time whereas we were told that ISI could not meet our child's Advanced academic level of learning.
