About

At the Calgary School of Languages, we are a family-owned institution with a profound commitment to languages and education. Our journey began in Venezuela with the establishment of Idiomas PJKI, a pioneering language school that provided personalized instruction in homes and offices. Fueled by our dedication to language learning, we have brought our expertise to Canada, where we continue to empower individuals and families to achieve their language goals.

As a family, we engage in dynamic discussions surrounding linguistics, educational methodologies, and the art of language instruction. Whether sharing a meal or enjoying a film, our conversations about the evolving landscape of language education are both stimulating and insightful. This unwavering dedication to knowledge drives us to continually refine our teaching practices, ensuring that we provide our students with the most effective and engaging learning experiences.

Languages are a strong commitment to ethics, experience, respect, and growth—not only for our organization but also for the individuals we serve. We are devoted to equipping our students with the practical communication skills necessary to excel in their personal, academic, and professional pursuits.

By fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, we empower our students to reach their full potential and become confident global citizens.
