Rooted in Passion, Built on Rich Experience

NextStep Language Classes was born from a passion for language and cultural connection. Led by Ms. Yolanda Goss, a dedicated educator with certifications in CTFL and TEA and a BA in French and German, the school reflects her years of experience teaching languages. Her vision was to create a space where learners of all ages could learn to love the magic of learning a language in an engaging and supportive environment.

From its humble beginnings in a college in Kentucky and in language schools in Austria to becoming a global online hub for language enthusiasts based in beautiful wild and wonderful Normantown, West Virginia, NextStep Language has grown while staying true to its roots. Inspired by the love of learning, fairy tales, legends, and academic excellence, the school is a testament to Ms. Goss's belief that language learning can be joyful, imaginative, and transformative for students everywhere.
