“Saturday quickly became our child’s favorite day. Plenty of speaking time, and projects make new vocabulary stick. After six weeks, reading confidence and everyday phrases improved at home. Level placement was spot on, and the OYIS campus feels safe and welcoming. It’s the only weekend activity where we consistently see progress.”
