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 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.
