The courses are designed for students aged 12-17 with any initial level of English proficiency.

Short-term programs of the language center have many advantages, one of which is its convenient location. Classes will be held on the educational grounds of University of California Irvine (UCI), which will allow students to imagine themselves as real university students. The campus is adjacent to a variety of urban infrastructure facilities in Los Angeles: from cultural institutions and attractions to large parks and public transport stops.

Academic plans are tailored to the English language level of each group, always include many hours of practice, which is also implemented outside the classrooms. Students are guided by qualified teachers with many years of experience in teaching foreign students English: they provide comprehensive support to their mentees, accompany them from arrival on campus until completion of the program.

Students are accommodated in multi-bed rooms in a university residence located a few minutes' walk from the classrooms. Residents have shared access to bathrooms, common areas, and a laundry room. They live in the building along with educational staff who provide 24/7 care and support, and monitor safety.

Every day, students visit a large dining hall serving a variety of hot and cold dishes, snacks and drinks. Three meals a day are served buffet-style, including both national and international cuisine, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. 

A wide variety of leisure activities are included in the schedule of all seasonal courses, whether it's team games and parties on campus or excursions to the sights of Los Angeles and nearby cities.

During the day and evening, entertainment events are organized on the educational grounds, during which students will be able to get to know each other better and share their impressions of the day. On some weekdays and weekends, students go on excursions to enjoy the natural beauty of the region and visit iconic attractions: Beverly Hills, Hollywood, historical and art museums, exhibition halls. Additional excursions not included in the main curriculum include trips to the Universal Studies and Disneyland amusement parks, the aquarium, and water sports with the support of qualified trainers.
