Why TLC

Three Reasons Our Students Thrive

01

25 Years of Proven
Excellence in Hawaii

With over 5,000 graduates, TLC alumni have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Wharton, the University of Tokyo, Keio University, and Punahou School — Hawaii's premier college-prep academy — with more than 150 admissions. Our track record speaks for itself.

02

Authentic English Fluency
from an Early Age

Our professional actor-instructors cultivate real communicative English — the ability to think, feel, and express in English. Multiple students have achieved Eiken Pre-1 and Grade 1 (CEFR B2+) while in elementary school. We don't just teach English; we build true bilinguals.

03

Study Online from
Anywhere in the World

Born in Hawaii and now reaching students across Japan and the globe, TLC offers online classes that bring our world-class instruction directly to you. A pioneer in bilingual education, we open doors to possibilities without borders — for every child, wherever they are.
