Metaphor Academic Center for Russian Language & Culture

My son started Metaphor as daycare when he was 2,5 yo. Hardly speaking any human language, which is normal at that age, he started to speak fluent Russian only one week after enrollment. Truth be told, the time came and home language was Russian as well. However, quality education and encouraging educational environment triggered very fast results. Throughout the years with Metaphor we had only pleasant experience. The kid's all-rounded development according to the age, attentive daily reports about activities, food, and other highlights, almost daily crafts, and seasonal concerts: all of these worked best for the child, as he developed warm memories of his childhood.nnPast many years, my son continues attend Metaphor for Saturday program, ensuring his Russian language speaking and writing capabilities stay on near-native level; and Math class gives great advantage over regular school curricular. Metaphor school for sure became the cultural center for many families. We always follow Metaphor's successes in its development, praise interesting events, and feel very lucky, that our kid may name Metaphor as his base daycare center.nnI might be mistaken, but there are families with absolutely no Russian-speaking heritage, who choose to enroll their kids to Metaphor. However, if you want your bi-lingual or Russian native speaking child to be raised in warm, friendly, yet very professional environment with meticulously developed curricular that targets development and/or preservation of linguistic skills, you may consider Metaphor as your choice.

I started taking my daughter to Metaphor since she was 4 years old. And this year she went to the 1st grade in this wonderful school! That’s my dream come true! Especially with no public schools being opened in our are area, it’s been a blessing to be able to take her to school in person. They follow all the health safety protocols! The 1st grade’s curriculum exceeded all our expectations, it’s outstanding! We are very humble and grateful to the principle and all the teachers! Best choice ever! Thank you Metaphor!!!

I found that the staff and teachers were very friendly and open-minded. They showed interest in the students beyond the necessary formalities and classes, and they also enjoyed answering questions and providing a full assistance. This further loosened the already relaxed and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend this school!

I love Metaphor! Professional loving teachers with passion for what they do. Serious approach and daily developing programs. My child is never bored and always wants to go there and gets sad when not going. Very clean facility and attentive personnel. Exceptional menu and fresh home made food ( not some nuggets from the freezer or something in that verity) .nDirector is very hands on and responsive. I truly believe that it’s the best what can be for you child.

Great school! I have 2 sons who go there on Saturdays. I admire enthusiasm and dedication of the teachers at Metaphor. Russian is a hard language to keep up. My kids are often hesitant to practice it. But after several years of attending, I am very pleased to see that the kids can speak, read and write in Russian. AMAZING! Thank you, Metaphor!
