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. Learning from highly-qualified, native speaking instructors, students study from a well-developed curriculum designed to hone their English skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. To complement their 'core class' study, students also select from a wide variety of elective classes to study topics pertinent to their individual interests, such as American Culture, Life Skills, TOEFL Preparation, Business English, and Composition. 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. FLS International is a proud member of AAIEP, the American Association of Intensive English Programs promoting professional standards and high-quality English programs.

Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| FLS instructors are highly-qualified, native speaking professionals. Many instructors have lived and traveled abroad and have extensive training and experience teaching English to students from around the world. The personal and academic qualities of FLS instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |
|
|
|
| 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. |

| 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. |
