Inspired by a personal dream and a deep desire to celebrate Louisiana’s unique culture, I founded Butterfly Language School, LLC.
Claudia, Teacher & Owner
At Butterfly Language School, we honor diversity, encourage intellectual curiosity, and celebrate nature.
We believe that learning another language opens doors to meaningful professional opportunities, new friendships, and a deeper sense of connection within our community. We love language learning and the joy of applying it to everyday life. Active learning and play are the best teachers.
Every member of our team is a certified teacher by the Louisiana State Department of Education.
