About Us

Little School by the Sea

At Little School by the Sea, learning a language is fun and exciting. We believe language is best learned through experiences with other people. Our goal is to give each person the ability to go out into the community and communicate their personal needs and desires with confidence. Whether you are currently living in the States, are here visiting, or studying English as a second language from a far away location, Little School by the Sea will help you attain the English skills necessary to speak confidently with friends, colleagues, teachers and the general public. Online or in person, let's knock down the language barrier together and have some fun doing it!

Our Mission

To instill a love of learning English to people of all ages and abilities and economic backgrounds by providing them with excellent language skills, and by using real life experiences to enhance their education.
