Program details to confirm

EC's current site labels this destination Los Angeles while the directory row retains the older Santa Monica name. General English starts every Monday with a one-week minimum. The $450 figure is the Los Angeles starting rate shown on EC's course page, not a guaranteed quote for every intensity or date.

EC offers 20, 24, 26 or 30 lessons of 45 minutes, equal to 15, 18, 19.5 or 22.5 hours per week. Fifteen hours is the base General English 20 load.

Do you need a visa for this program?

The school reports a weekly class load of 15; its unit may not equal 60 minutes. For this course at EC Santa Monica, a weekly hour count does not by itself establish permission to study as a visitor. Language training generally uses the student route; the visitor exception is limited to a short recreational, non-credit course during a tourist visit. Confirm the actual course and your circumstances before booking.

Review visa questions

Before you apply to EC Santa Monica

Check the exact course and intake with the school before paying. Our listing does not submit an application or confirm an offer of admission.

  • Ask for the next available start date and application deadline.
  • Ask about entry age, English-level placement and any course-specific requirements.
  • Ask for the application charge and every mandatory fee in writing.
  • Ask what housing is available, its total cost and the commute to your actual classroom.
  • Read the cancellation and refund terms before making a payment.
  • If you need F-1 status, ask whether this campus and this exact course can issue a Form I-20. A school-level SEVP match does not establish course eligibility.

Use a school inquiry email template.
