HOW IT WORKS
Language Pledge®
When you take the Pledge, you commit to communicating only in language for the duration of your program.
In a community of motivated learners and supportive faculty, you’ll live, play, and learn in a 24/7 immersion environment.
Live in Language
In our classes we offer a wide range of levels, from beginner through graduate, designed to challenge you and fit your needs as a language learner.
Outside of class, you will put your language skills to work, participating in an array of cocurricular activities.
A Rewarding and Rigorous Environment
Each summer we welcome students from all walks of life (ages 18 to 80+) and all parts of the world who show the potential and desire to succeed. Together we create one of the most effective language-learning environments.
