4worldlovers: Learning with Top Language is not only a matter of learning new sounds or new words, or grammatical structures, it is about being more: being more competent, and more socially and culturally aware. It is not only talking; it is getting into knowing and experiencing the culture.

​The result: a more authentic and honest connection with other people that comes from the understanding.

"crossing borders has proven to be an advantageous program to be a part of"

I have been giving an oral Spanish assessment for the past twenty-three years at Mark Twain Elementary School in an effort to determine if the student is a fluent Spanish speaker. For many years we have had applications from students that were attending Crossing Borders seeking entrance into the dual language program. Over the past three years, I have noticed a significant difference in the amount of Spanish that is being retained by children coming from Crossing Borders. Both orally, receptive, and expressive oral language have drastically improved. Further-more, the children are coming in to the dual language program with the ability to read in Spanish, a basic skill that is typically mastered by the end of kindergarten. From the perspective of a dual language coordinator and a kindergarten teacher at Mark Twain, Crossing Borders has proven to be an advantageous program to be a part of.

We are committed to exceeding expectations. All of our teachers are CPR- and First Aid-Certified and have a minimum of 48 hours in Child Development. Many hold a Child Development Associate Credential TM or hold an under-graduate or graduate degree. ​

We believe our diversity is our strength. Our teachers and students come from different cultural backgrounds. We embrace our differences with kindness and acceptance at our language immersion school.​

We believe language is critical in our global society. Because our Houston language school has a long-standing excellent reputation within the early childhood education industry, and we want to keep it this way, we are able to attract an equally high-quality professional staff that is dedicated to making a difference in each child’s world.​

We are committed to providing the best education. Our teachers foster an immersion environment that encourages students to be able to interact in the target language while teaching them core subjects like math, science, arts, as well as teaching them some of the cultural aspects of their own language. ​

Safety of our children, parents, and staff is our #1 priority, above all else at our language immersion school.

We are honest and ethical in our actions. We hold ourselves accountable.

In today’s world, the ability to speak a second, third, or even fourth language, is a tremendous advantage. As your child learns English (ESL), Spanish, Mandarin, and French, it opens the doors to opportunities later in life, and is proven to help children focus, plan, and problem-solve better.

Our Mantra is to Educate, Not Supervise For The Best Experience

Children gain an experiential understanding of other people, their traditions, and their countries. This understanding facilitates language learning, and for many kids, it gives them the desire and confidence to explore other countries and study or work abroad.

"If success is simply measured by the ease with which a child will happily do something, Crossing Borders was a hit from the start. Naturally a few tears during the first few weeks, but no reluctance and throughout, an enthusiasm to attend and participate. The children were well cared for in a safe environment and made friends they will continue to see, even after their departure to Kindergarten."

AIIC Program in three target languages starting at 3 months builds a language base

LIPP Schools immersion programs plant the seeds of academic and socio-emotional growth in Spanish, French and Mandarin, through solid academics in a nurturing environment.

"Children have a natural capacity to absorb languages. The optimal time to learn a second or third language is while they are learning their first.”

At LIPP Schools we feel that a child’s early formative years not only impact their cognitive and emotional development, but also shape their character and adulthood.

“I wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you. My son has a deep bond with his teachers and clearly loves the school. The thoughtfulness that goes into your curriculum, warmth of connection with students, positive interaction with us as parents, and overall caring is definitely noticed. I'm sure there's far more work that goes into this that we'll never know, but please know I'm grateful to have our children at LIPP! Your collective work changes lives. How many can say that?!”

“My son loves school and is now starting to say Mama! He is very persistent and speaks more Spanish every day! Thank you for providing transparency and allowing us to be part of the LIPP Family. We truly are so grateful! Your teachers are rare gems and their hard work should be recognized! I love working together to help my child grow and learn!”

“Please know how much we value the education that we are receiving at LIPP. We are excited at the prospect of sending all three of our children to you!”

“We have been so impressed with the level of love and care that LIPP provides for our son. His teachers have been great. My wife is a native Spaniard and we love that our son gets Spanish instruction and exposure to students speaking other languages. What it all comes down to for me is that LIPP’s teachers are extremely loving from the minute we drop our son off to when we pick him up. That sort of love and dedication to teaching is really rare for a preschool, and I think this really sets LIPP apart.”

“The marked difference we have noticed in our daughter since starting LIPP is incredible and we attribute it wholeheartedly to the school and her amazing teachers. I can’t recommend LIPP enough. We are so happy to be part of this amazing group of educators who truly love all the kids as if their own.”
