World Family English and its affiliated companies have been

infancy and allow them to continue learning and having fun through 
elementary school. Our World Family Club services allow our

Further development work would include creating platforms for 
digital publishing and delivery, integration of physical and virtual 
products, and support services such as face-to-face interaction in 
learning centers, telephone and video lessons, and apps for devices 
such as the iPad and iPhone. Work will be based in Bermuda and 
will involve periodic travel to our markets in Asia (Japan, Taiwan, 
Hong Kong, Mainland China, and South Korea).
