Discover FutureKey

Welcome to the FutureKey School website. Established in the San Francisco Bay Area, California in 2014, we are a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.

Since our establishment, we have provided after-school language learning services for local students. In the spring of 2020, parents complained about the subpar quality of online classes offered by local schools and a significant decline in students' motivation. This led us to develop a new approach to online teaching: by recruiting the most professional teachers nationwide, reducing classroom sizes to no more than 6 students in a micro-class setting from the usual 20-30, and carefully selecting our course materials. Our initiative received enthusiastic support from many parents.

At FutureKey School, we pride ourselves on our professional faculty, systematic course materials, and an enjoyable learning atmosphere. Our experienced teaching staff know how to ignite students' passion for learning; our meticulously chosen course materials are comprehensive and systematic, ensuring students' all-around mastery of the English language; in our classrooms, students interact frequently with their teachers, establishing strong student-teacher bonds and thoroughly enjoying each classroom experience.

Before the end of each academic year, our students participate in nationwide standardized tests administered by independent third parties. Their performances are outstanding, scoring well above the average level of their peers.

Join FutureKey and embark on a rewarding adventure in learning English!
