Boas Language Academy is a for-purpose language school, teaching English and other languages to children and adults in the Albury Wodonga region. Boas provides teacher training and employment pathways to migrant and refugees with native speaker proficiency, supporting them to become language teachers.
Born from Kristie's passion for regional development and inclusive communities, Boas' social mission is to turn language from a barrier to a connector. Kristie's vision is to make language learning accessible, enjoyable and impactful.
Based on the principles of inclusivity and cultural appreciation, Boas Language Academy aims to bring the community together and showcase the great value and potential of multilingualism in Australia.
