We offer an intensive educational experience not available at any other school: a comprehensive package of language fluency, technology skills, and career readiness specifically designed for the needs of the “language learner”. Results: • Since 1977, the English Center has transformed the lives of 5,000 Internationals and immigrants from over 75 countries • Successfully graduates over 200 students annually • Places over 80% of candidates in jobs or internships See how your contributions support the English Center.
