Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| Embassy CES 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 Embassy CES instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |
|
|
|
| Embassy CES provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. For students who prefer a more independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the campus environment. Homestays are also a living option for those students who want to experience the local 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. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly. |

| The Embassy CES San Francisco Center is located in a unique, refurbished building in the heart of the city's well-known Polk Street business area. Famous for its boutiques, restaurants, cinemas and local entertainment, Polk Street is an ideal location as it is close to the city's convenient public transportation to take students to such colorful neighborhoods as Nob Hill, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Home to more than 770,000 residents, San Francisco, aptly named the "City by the Bay" and "America's Favorite City," is best known for its friendliness and its intense spirit of individualism. Celebrated for its beauty, mild climate and sophistication, San Francisco's hilly streets provide gorgeous views of the San Francisco Bay and its famous bridges, including the world-renowned Golden Gate Bridge. Home to a variety of cultures and ethnicities, San Francisco encourages both visitors and residents alike to explore diverse neighborhoods such as bustling Chinatown, the Italian quarter of North Beach, and vibrant Haight-Ashbury, the heart of the hippie movement during the 1960s. San Francisco's many entertainment and cultural attractions appeals to all tastes and preferences, from visiting the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, watching the San Francisco Ballet and enjoying the San Francisco Symphony to cheering on San Francisco's professional football, baseball, hockey, and basketball teams. A trip across the Golden Gate Bridge will take you to beautiful Muir Woods National Monument, the "best tree-lovers monument" in the world, the famous wine country of Napa and Sonoma, and picturesque beaches and hiking trails. For outstanding camping, hiking and climbing excursions, spectacular Yosemite National Park is only a 3 1/2 hour drive from San Francisco. |
