An Avant-Garde Language Academy for a Multicultural Community

Native Argentine Alba (Ely) Ferreyra Gutierrez believes that being able to speak two or more languages should be part of everyone’s education. She perceived that the border community in the city of El Paso where she moved from her native country could strongly benefit from a language school that would offer innovative solutions never before proposed. La Paz Language Academy opened its doors on September 2003 and offered this community the opportunities to learn a new language, the culture, and values. In turn, students of all ages and levels could be highly successful in their private and professional lives, as well as be prepared for the sweeping effects of globalization.

La Paz has evolved by teaching people from all areas of life offering more than 20 languages to students of all ages, giving foreign language credit to high school students, and running several fun-filled language camps for children each summer.

In 2005 the academy received the accreditation from SACS CASI (Southern Association of Colleges and School Council on Accreditation and School Improvement))

In 2009 the academy became an approved GSA vendor

In 2011 COGNIA Global Commission, which is the parent organization of SACS CASI, awarded the academy continuing accreditation.

Today, and with the cooperation of our professional and friendly team, the academy has grown into a dynamic school, constantly thriving for the best standards in quality and on the lookout for new services and opportunities to offer.

Our Language Teachers

At La Paz Language Academy, not only do students of all ages find a great source for online language classes, but our amazing foreign language teachers also enjoy the pleasant working atmosphere of our online language school. All of our language instructors are native to the countries where the languages they teach are used, and are able to use their cultural experiences to pass their knowledge and passion along to our students. Through this unwavering commitment to their students, our language teachers also find countless opportunities for personal and professional growth. There is no limit for learning a foreign language, and much of that learning comes from teaching others and growing alongside them in the process.

Native Argentinean and director of the language academy, Alba (Ely) Ferreyra Gutierrez, believes that an important step in achieving success when learning a new language is the ability to communicate with others. With this in mind, she recruited a group of highly skilled and talented foreign language instructors who are passionate about their work.

La Paz Language Academy opened its doors in El Paso in 2003 to people of all walks of life, from young children to the elderly. By welcoming them to join us in such an exciting adventure, it is our mission to pass along the fulfillment that comes with overcoming the challenges of learning a new language. We’re excited to now offer all of our language lessons completely online! That being said, here are the experts behind our intensive English classes (and ESL classes), Spanish lessons, French lessons, and all of the other foreign languages we teach.

Accreditations

La Paz Language Academy is accredited by SACS CASI and COGNIA Global Commission, a non-profit organization that accredits the best language schools, as well as prestigious primary and secondary schools across the globe.
