The question everyone asks first

Do you actually need a student visa?

Weekly hours alone do not decide visa eligibility. Language training and short recreational study during a tourist visit have different requirements.

Check the course purpose, credit and entry requirements before booking. Our tool identifies questions to confirm with the school and consulate.

Common questions

Do I need a student visa to study English in the USA?

For your selected US English course, 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.

How much does an English course in the US cost?

Across 90 source-linked location records, we can derive a weekly rate for 43; those run $125 to $660 a week for the recorded course options. We do not estimate a figure for the rest. The costs page shows each figure with its published tuition and session length.

Is this site free for students?

Yes. We are a directory, not an agency. We never charge students a placement or counseling fee, and every listing links directly to the school so you apply to them, not through us.

Where does this directory come from?

The 378 primary directory listings come from two published lists read on 8 September 2026. 281 have Commission on English Language Program Accreditation records. CEA accreditation is distinct from SEVP certification; verify I-20 eligibility separately. Other listings come from the EnglishUSA member directory, which is a paid trade membership rather than an accreditation. Neither source alone means we have confirmed a price.
