ELS/Santa Monica's location is in the heart of downtown Santa Monica's shopping district and is within walking-distance to the beach and the famous Santa Monica Pier. Santa Monica is located near the heart of the historic Hollywood entertainment industry, close to the beach, mountains, and desert. The climate and physical location are ideal, with an average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and 330 days of sunshine every year. Los Angeles is within one hour of both the Pacific Ocean and the San Gabriel Mountains, making it possible for residents to go swimming in the morning and snow skiing in the afternoon. ELS Santa Monica is also a designated IELTS testing center.
This location offers group Intensive (30 lessons per week), Semi-Intensive (20 lessons per week) and American Explorer (15 lessons per week) English programs. A TOEFL iBT Prep Program (30 lessons per week) will also be offered starting September 17, 2007.
Students in the Intensive, Semi-Intensive & American Explorer English Programs offer instruction and practice in all key language skills: speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading & writing. The Intensive English Program also offers afternoon elective classes that focus on specific interests (such as American Idioms, American Film, Current Events and American Culture).
