Power-Glide International, Inc. is a Provo, Utah based company that is the leader in foreign language training materials for independent learners and schools. Power-Glide is also a fully accredited foreign language school serving the "foreign language for credit" market. This market includes public, private, and charter schools, homeschool, third-party training companies (private labeled), corporations and individuals. Our products offer a "whole family" solution and are specifically designed to fit children Pre-K through grade 12 and adults.
The unique story behind Power-Glide International began in the 1950`s when Dr. Robert Blair was a linguistics student at Indiana University. During his 35 years of study, teaching and experimenting with over 48 languages, he began to see a disturbing pattern with traditional teaching methods. Even students who had studied a language for years, in the end, remembered very little. Subsequently, Dr. Blair set about studying the best teaching methods for foreign language from around the world. Through his study of best practices and the development of his own methodologies, the Power-Glide method was born. Once developed, Dr. Blair knew he had created something special.
The Power-Glide concept had little market value until an entrepreneur could find a way to turn the ideas into something tangible and salable. James Blair, one of Dr. Blair`s sons, started such a company in 1992.
Power-Glide`s financial beginnings were truly humble. The company started in a file cabinet, moved to one room in a basement, then two, and now occupies 5,000 sq. feet of office and warehouse space, complete with multi-division offices and a communication center. In the summer of 1996, James Blair began working on the business full-time during college, and in the first full year turned a profit. The company has since grown to become an Inc. 500 Fastest Growth in America Company and the winner of many state and local business awards for growth, profitability, and good business practices. |
