Founded in 1978, the English Language Center (ELC) is a group of private language schools that provide a rigorous academic curriculum to build students' communicative competence. Operating schools in some the most desirable locations in the United States, the ELC provides its students with high-quality instruction designed to meet their individual needs while allowing them to study in dynamic, exciting environments. The ELC provides free College Counseling and University Placement services for its students to help them select a college and coach them throughout the application process. As the ELC partners with a number of colleges in the United States, students have a certain advantage to use the ELC's services to apply to their desired degree program. Such advantages include conditional letters of acceptance and special TOEFL waiver agreements, as well as concurrent enrollment and valuable class auditing opportunities. In their spare time, students have opportunities to participate in activities arranged by school to enjoy different social and cultural experiences and practice their English in real-life situations. Students are also encouraged to independently explore their new city, attend professional sports games or experience some of the city's vibrant, eclectic neighborhoods. The ELC is a proud member of AAIEP, the American Association of Intensive English Programs promoting professional standards and high-quality English programs.

Homestays are ideal for those students who want to experience American culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. UCLA on-campus dormitories are also available during the summer only. 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. |
