... because language brings people together

K5

At K5, our professional and dedicated staff places a high value on showing mutual respect and appreciation, both in our day-to-day work with one another and when communicating with course participants.
Through language and interaction we encourage the social and professional integration of immigrants, thus creating the basis for a shared future.

Since 1980, we serve the public as a non-profit organisation and are in dialogue with our target group, the authorities, and other organisations.

«My work at K5 has a lot variety. I love the contact with parents, the children’s smiling faces, and the challenge of boosting their self-confidence and unlocking their joy of learning–all this comes with my job as a language development professional.
