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.

| The university campus is nestled in the charming, All-American town of Lock Haven. Located in north central Pennsylvania, Lock Haven lies between the banks of the Susquehanna and the Bald Eagle Creek Rivers and is home to 10,000 residents. Featuring a historic district with immaculately restored Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century architecture situated on stunning tree-shaded streets, Lock Haven offers a beautiful, safe environment to embrace the traditional American experience. Late spring and summer brings perfect weather to go boating, rafting and inner tubing on the Susquehanna River while ample opportunities are also available to go swimming, fishing, hiking, camping and hand gliding in areas surrounding Lock Haven. If it is a cultural experience you seek, the Millbrook Playhouse provides professional theatrical productions during the summer while the Ross Library features a stunning collection of artwork by the town's well-known native, John Sloan. Lock Haven is centrally located on the nation's historic East Coast, with the major metropolitan cities of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington, D.C. a few hours drive away. |

About the College/University |
|
|
| Founded in 1870 as the Central State Normal School, Lock Haven University (LHU) has developed an illustrious history since its establishment. As a member of Pennsylvania's state system of higher education, LHU is home to 4,500 students from 32 U.S. states; the small student population is ideal to further provide a high-quality, personalized academic experience. LHU's International Education program is one of the nation's finest and year after year, attracts students from 39 countries around the world. Students study among the 75 academic programs offered through LHU's College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education and Human Services, including such programs as education, health sciences/athletic training, international studies, and recreation that are acclaimed from across the state and the country. Outside of the classroom, LHU students are actively involved in the campus community, whether by joining one of the nearly 100 student-run clubs and organizations, writing for the student newspaper, "The Eagle Eye," helping broadcast the campus radio station, WLHU Radio, or attending one of many campus-sponsored events including dances, study break socials, the Annual Semi-Formal, and weekly bowling matches. |
