Since 1961 ELS has been renowned for having the largest network of on-campus English language programs in North America. Over the years we have helped thousands of students from non-English-speaking countries to prepare for university study in the USA and Canada at both undergraduate and graduate level.

However, ELS offers more than just language programs - essentially we offer three different routes to university depending on the profile of each individual student:

1) ELS English + Conditional Admission to one of more than 650 colleges/universities in our partner network - we help counsel each individual student on the best college options for their profile and then apply on their behalf to obtain a conditional admission to that college.

2) University pathway programs - our first cohort of undergraduate students have started this Fall at the prestigious University of Saint Thomas, Minnesota and, for Fall 2020, we are adding two further options - an Undergraduate pathway in partnership with the Tier One nationally ranked University of La Verne and a Pre-MBA program with California Lutheran University, both located just outside Los Angeles.

3) Direct counselling and placement services to a range of universities for those students who meet all entry requirements already.

With such a large network of partner colleges and universities, ELS is able to offer a unique range of price-points and, of course, our counselling service is willing and able to advise on any scholarship opportunities that may exist.

Why?

For more than 55 years, students have chosen ELS to achieve their English language goals.Our fully immersive programs, with centers located in top destinations and on university campuses, provide a cultural journey that can set students up for a lifetime of success.

At ELS, we are dedicated to developing future global citizens. Our combination of language and culture offers a unique experience where students learn communication skills that are directly applicable to everyday life.

Our quality of instruction is evident through our dedicated, professional teachers. Many of the most experienced teachers at ELS are members of TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages), hold Master’s degrees or TEFL Certificates, and have taught at ELS for 15+ years.

We have partnered with hundreds of universities to offer educational opportunities to our students that can provide a lifetime of success. These partnerships allow us to give students access to top-of-the-line facilities, as well as an opportunity to experience university life firsthand.

Choosing to study English with ELS can unlock a host of possibilities for students. Our mission is to make these possibilities a reality and to give every student the ability to realize their dreams.
