Language Kingdom

What Language Kingdom does

Language Kingdom (LK) is a Spanish privately-held language immersion and international education company headquartered in Oviedo, Asturias, operating as LANGUAGE KINGDOM, SL. Founded in 2006 by Silvia Díaz, the company has grown from a single Asturias academy into an international education group with offices in Spain (Oviedo, Madrid, León, Sevilla, Catalunya), Italy, the United States, Ireland, and Poland, serving 14,000+ students annually and reporting more than 140,000 students served cumulatively over 18+ years of operation.

The company's core product portfolio centers on language immersion experiences delivered through short-stay programs (MINISTAYS®, a registered trademark), thematic Programa TER trips, full academic year placements in the USA, Canada, Ireland, and the UK (including J1 and F1 visa pathways), the Bachillerato Dual Americano (BDA) dual-diploma program, and international summer camps. Complementary offerings include Erasmus+ coordination, boarding school placements, sports scholarships (football and tennis), university placement, visa services, and exam preparation (EBAU, LanguageCert, Cambridge, IELTS, Trinity). Delivery is supported by owned academies in Asturias (Oviedo, Grao, Tineo), online classes, the Portal LK customer platform, and a network of more than 700 Centros Colaboradores LK partner educational centers across Spain. ISO 9001:2018 certification (Lloyd's Register) and consecutive StudyTravel Super Star Agency status underpin operational quality claims.

LK generates revenue primarily through multi-year program fees for academic year placements and per-program fees for short-stay immersion, summer camps, and academies; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer sales (in-person and webinar informational meetings, phone, email, contact forms) with a B2B channel-partner motion through the Centros Colaboradores network targeting primary and secondary schools. Reported customer satisfaction is 99%+ with a 4.9/5 Google rating based on more than 3,000 reviews, and the company has been recognized through CEPYME500 (2025), StudyTravel Star Awards (5x Super Star — only Spanish agency to achieve this), IALC and ICEF agency membership, ASEPROCE membership, and the 2025 CaixaBank Empresaria Norte prize to its founder.
