Fall River is now one of four locations in the U.S. of  a Fisk language school, a franchise with over 700 locations world-wide. Located at 363 Second Street, the school has been open for the past year and is now managed by Jonatas Raineri, who moved here from Brazil after working for one of the hundreds of schools in that country. Classes are offered in English and Spanish for persons whose native language is Portuguese. Classes are offered during the day and evening, including individual instruction. The original school was organized in 1958 by Richard H. Fisk, an American from Vermont who moved to Brazil and began to teach English. In addition to the 650 schools in Brazil, Fisk also operates schools in Argentina, Japan, Paraguay and Angola. The only U.S. locations are in Everett, Stoughton and East Providence in addition to Fall River's school. For more information, contact Mr. Raineri at 508-730-1212 or call 1-800-986-FISK.
