No matter where you look, communities are becoming ever more diverse; a reality that is clearly visible in your local schools. One refreshing component of this diversity is the exposure to other languages and cultures.

Why Choose
VOLATIA
Experience The Difference
Volatia has an intimate understanding of the communication barriers that English learners and LEP families experience in education. Our founder and CEO, Baraka Kasongo, was an English learner at William Fleming High School, and his family’s English proficiency was limited during his entire high school experience. For this reason, our school language access programs are designed to empower LEP families and support the teachers who work tirelessly to build lasting connections with their children.
