What they charge, against the national spread
  • Florida, $110–$570
  • Median $183
  • National median $319

17 of the 74 publish both a price and a session length, so a weekly rate can be worked out: $110 to $570 a week, median $183 , below the $319 median across all 95 programs we have priced. For the remaining listings, a comparable weekly rate is not confirmed here. Check the current fee schedule or ask the school.

Who runs them
  • University or college (11)
  • Private language school (54)
  • Not on record (9)

These are the affiliations recorded in our directory. Confirm each course's start dates, minimum enrollment and campus access directly; school type alone does not establish them.
