  • Founded in 1987, FLS International has grown from a small neighborhood school to a prominent group of six private language centers housed on the American university and college campuses of Citrus College, Dean College, Lock Haven University, MiraCosta College, Oxnard College, and the College of Southern Nevada. In addition to attending classes on-campus, FLS students also gain full access to campus facilities, including modern athletic facilities, computer labs with Internet access, libraries, and language labs.

• More Details
  • Housing
  • While attending Citrus College, FLS offers students the opportunity to live in off-campus residence or enjoy a homestay experience. Off-campus residences provide more privacy and are ideal for those students who prefer a more independent lifestyle. The residences are conveniently located just a short distance from campus and are situated directly on the local bus line. The FLS also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience American culture as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly.
  • Surrounding Area
  • The Citrus College campus is located in the safe, welcoming city of Glendora, the “Pride of the Foothills.” Home to more than 50,000 residents, Glendora is an attractive residential community featuring charming tree-lined neighborhood streets and a quaint downtown Village including unique shops, comfy coffeehouses, and movie theaters. Nestled in among the foothills of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, Glendora is ideally situated in the eastern portion of Los Angeles County and is an hour drive from one of the world’s most diverse metropolitan areas, Los Angeles. Boasting famed attractions including its vast Pacific Ocean beaches, historic Hollywood, legendary shopping on Rodeo Drive, famous museums, theaters and art galleries, not to mention Disneyland, Universal Studios, and the L.A. County Fair Grounds, Los Angeles offers endless natural, cultural and recreational opportunities for visitors and residents alike. At the end of the day, however, Glendora’s comfortable, safe, quiet environment offers a true haven from the fast pace life of downtown Los Angeles.

  • Intensive English Program

  • Overview
  • The Intensive English Program is offered year-round with sessions beginning every four weeks. Students enrolled in the Program receive 25 hours of classroom instruction per week.
    
    The IEP is offered at 18 levels of instruction, from Beginning to College Preparatory. Upon their arrival at the IEP, students take an English proficiency test to help determine the level best-suited to their ability. At the end of each level, an FLS progress report is issued to each student to help evaluate both their strengths and weaknesses.
    
    All levels of instruction are designed to hone students’ academic skills in the fundamental areas of English speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Elective courses are also part of the curriculum, allowing students to study topics pertinent to their interests while building their core language skills. Attending 6 elective lessons each week, students study topics including American Culture, TOEFL Preparation, Life Skills, Business English, and Composition. Outside of the classroom, student advisors are on-hand to assist students in making a healthy adjustment to the United States, as well as to help students with every step of the college application process, from finding the right school to completing the application.
    
    As part of the IEP curriculum, FLS regularly organizes exciting social and cultural activities for students to practice their newly-acquired English skills while visiting dozens of local, popular attractions. These organized activities offer great opportunities for students to acquire educational and cultural enrichment and enjoy themselves as they tour famous museums, enjoy the theater, dine at lively restaurants, and experience the excitement of amusement parks.
    
    Classroom sizes range from 8 to 12 students per class. Every effort is made to keep classes at an ideal size for effective English language instruction.

    Thanks So Much to FLS!
    

    I spent an unforgettable month at FLS. The staff and teachers there were so nice. The environment was comfortable there and my homestay family was very considerate. I loved being there so much that I didn't want to leave. Thanks to my teachers; Sandra, Philip and Ross. I'm gonna miss my classmates and teachers at FLS!
