The founding of the Kaplan International Languages dates back to 1938 when Stanley Kaplan decided to start his educational project in Brooklyn, New York, targeting in particular the children of recent immigrants to the United States. Stanley, who began his educational journey from home, quickly became famous thanks to his preparation programs for university entrance exams that he launched in 1945, which helped pave the way for students towards higher education. As the institute grew rapidly and the network of testing centers expanded, Kaplan was acquired by Graham Holdings, formerly of The Washington Post, in 1984, paving the way for the opening of a branch in London by 1993. By 1996, Kaplan was offering its educational services via The Internet, by 2001, offered three graduate programs online. The merger with the British "Aspect" in 2006 helped the institute expand its educational offerings to include university preparatory courses in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia.<br><br><h2>
