Language Schools
NAICS 611630 · Federal Contracts & Awards
Language Schools obligated $222,798,628.35 in FY2024 according to USAspending.gov (NAICS 611630). That yearlyTrend cell is 73.8% of the industry extract $301,762,721.31. The page is a join of one NAICS code and one fiscal year, not a campus directory and not language advice. 1,028 is the industry extract's award-record count, not a FY2024-only census of classrooms or named schools.
Key figures
- USAspending records $222,798,628.35 in Language Schools FY2024 obligations (NAICS 611630).
- That cell is 73.8% of the industry's $301,762,721.31 extract-wide total.
- 1,028 is the industry extract award-record count, not a FY2024 school census.
- Obligations are not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.
NAICS 611630 joined with fiscal year 2024
NAICS 611630 crossed with fiscal year 2024 yields one obligation sum. $222,798,628.35 is that sum for Language Schools in 2024. USAspending.gov publishes the figure as a yearlyTrend obligation total. Obligations are commitments recorded on awards, not Treasury outlays. The industry-wide extract remains $301,762,721.31. This pair does not explain why agencies bought language-school coding on awards, and it does not name contractors or schools.
A language-school total is easy to misread as seats filled, languages taught, or a count of campuses. This packet does not list courses, award recipients, or student counts. A reader who assigns $222,798,628.35 to a single agency's language-training program adds a label the facts do not carry. Correlation with enrollment headlines is not causation.
Language-school dollars in FY2024
On the industry side, NAICS 611630 is the Language Schools extract. Its published total across the extract is $301,762,721.31. $222,798,628.35 sits inside that book at 73.8%. The parent industry page holds the longer series without isolating 2024. Award records in the extract number 1,028; that count is not limited to FY2024.
Language-school coding on awards is the NAICS description attached to the awards, not a proof of instruction delivered. A later USAspending ingest can restate $222,798,628.35 or $301,762,721.31 without changing the join keys. The 73.8% share is $222,798,628.35 divided by $301,762,721.31, not a budget score.
