OUR STORY

It all began in 2001 when our Founder, Elvia Taylor, opened her house to provide English and Spanish classes to adults. She started helping Fortune 500 companies, friends, colleagues, and schools – all from her dining room table! in 2005, Elvia expanded her language learning program and opened Crossing Borders International Preschool & Camps, located in Houston, TX. Alongside experienced Academic Supervisors, Elvia created her own material to help parents and teachers teach Spanish. Today, this material is also used in our preschool and has been an effective language-learning tool for the past ten years! With 20 years of experience, Crossing Borders is one of Houston, TX’s top language learning programs.

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY ABOUT OUR PROGRAM…..

“We have had a great experience with the online classes. The staff was able to quickly find a time that worked for us. We got to work with an amazing teacher that quickly had my son learning again Spanish again. He already had two years of Spanish immersion preschool at Crossing Borders that I also highly recommend. In two weeks time with the online classes, I noticed a big improvement with his speaking skills. These times have been hard on many of us. However, a bright spot is that it has made me seek critical educationally programs, like Crossing Borders language learning, that is not part of the normal school curriculum.” –★★★★★

“Considering the unexpectedness of coronavirus, the online classes for pre-K have been great so far. My daughter struggled in a larger class format. The teachers and owner recognized that and created a beginner class for students that needed a little extra support. Since then, my daughter has been thriving in that smaller environment and is excited to see her friends every day!”

“The online program at Crossing Borders has been a wonderful and unique experience. I am impressed with how quickly they were able to set up a method for remote learning during this time. Although my daughter is learning French through distance learning, she is still able to form a strong bond with her teacher and looks forward to seeing her classmates online. Her French language skills have improved in these few weeks and it’s a great addition to her daily routine.”
