Why take a English course in Los Angeles?

Santa Monica pier

Experience an English course in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world! Walk along Hollywood Boulevard, where you can trace the steps of your favourite stars, take a tour of a film studio, or spot celebrities in the city's trendy nightlife. If you want to dress like the stars, L.A. boasts extravagant designer boutiques and an impressive selection of vintage clothing.

Our English language school is situated in Santa Monica, a vibrant city with its own unique character, adjacent to West Los Angeles.

Just a short stroll from our modern school building, you'll discover Third Street Promenade, a pedestrian shopping area filled with a diverse range of shops, eateries, and leisure activities. This traffic-free zone also attracts street performers, ensuring that your visit offers both entertainment and retail therapy!

In the opposite direction, a mere 10-minute walk from the school, lies the Santa Monica History Museum. Here, you can explore permanent exhibits on the Tongva, the area's original inhabitants, and learn about the town's evolution into a popular resort destination. A quick public transport ride will take you to Bergamot Station Arts Center, a former railway station now home to around 30 art galleries.

No description of Santa Monica would be complete without mentioning its stunning sandy beach, which stretches 3.5 miles along the Pacific Ocean, exemplifying the renowned Southern California coastline. Enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, such as walking, biking, and skating along the promenade, or try your hand at surfing. Alternatively, bring a beach blanket and relax while soaking up the laid-back atmosphere of the area!
