For over 45 years, our Company has developed, produced, and distributed the finest, most effective English language learning programs and services for non-native English-speaking children aged 0 to 6+ years.
World Family English Holdings Ltd., our parent company, is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Our subsidiaries World Family English Ltd. and World Family Innovations Ltd., also based in Bermuda, focus on product development and innovation. Other subsidiaries are headquartered in our principal markets Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong/Macau. We are a closely held company owned by approximately 250 individual shareholders in key executive, management, consulting, and sales relationships with the Company.
With more than 900 employees and over 1,000 sales advisors, we’ve consistently provided exceptional English fluency outcomes for more than a million product users. Each and every day we deliver a wide array of activities, events, and other support services to 250,000+ World Family Club member children.
Beginning in the 1970s, our products, services, and language learning methodology evolved from our long association with Anne R. Dow, Director of Harvard University’s Department of ESL Programs. Anne and her team of highly skilled linguists and developers worked exclusively with World Family to develop our flagship product, Disney World of English, our proprietary Play Along! program for 0 to 2-year-old children, and our World Family Club services supporting learners from 0 to 12 years and older. Through the decades, we have invested more than $80,000,000 (in current US dollars) in the development and ongoing enhancement of our learning programs, and many millions more in our World Family Club services content.
The World Family Method, A Natural Way to Learn English
The World Family Method is based on the Natural Approach to language learning. Our method emphasizes natural communication instead of grammar, rote memorization, or error correction. Our programs and services create an engaging, stress-free learning environment in the comfort, safety, and security of the home. Our products provide thousands of hours of rich, carefully designed English language input. Fluency emerges naturally through exposure to immersive input in our products and speaking opportunities with native English speakers staffed by the World Family Club. Our products and services evolve with the child, fostering linguistic development and nurturing cognitive and developmental growth.
