(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Blythe Academy of Languages is an elementary magnet school in Greenville providing partial imersion foreign lanaguage to its students from K-5 through 5th grade. There is much parent support and their PTA is reknowned. The teachers, with few exceptions are encouraging to all students and stress that learning can be fun . My daughter has now moved on to middle school where she is doing well. I know that the foundation Blythe staff helped her build has contributed to her success. The school like many in greenville county has been been rebuilt in the last five years and is equipped with the latest technology. Extracurricular activtities abound and encourage growth both in mind and body.
