Welcome to LATT!
As the CEO of LATT, I take great pride in our rich history and ongoing commitment to education. Our school traces its origins to the LATT Language Institute, founded by Mrs. G.K. Ferra [link Blog] in 1966. Through our affiliated organizations—including LATT Children’s Theater, LATT Children’s English Center, and LATT English Culture Center—LATT has consistently offered a wide range of services focused on children’s English education. Since 2010, LATT has continued this mission, providing fun and enriching learning experiences designed for children ages 3 to 7.
