Our course menu includes classes such as intensive speaking, listening, reading, and writing courses; intensive TOEFL and IELTS preparation; job search preparation; workforce training; and many others. Our commitment to individual attention speeds the language learning process. Our national accreditation assures the quality of our courses, which can be delivered either in-person or online. Our partnerships with local institutions of higher learning offer clear pathways for our academically bound students.

Our workforce offerings support the needs of individuals and companies. We also supervise a vibrant activity program that organizes local excursions and gets students out to explore the city of Seattle and experience the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
