Keep your eyes open and you may spot the occasional celebrity among the chic cafés, theaters and boutiques of Westwood Village whilst you learn English in LA. Westwood is no less exclusive than the glamorous neighboring districts of Beverly Hills and Bel Air; but thanks to the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles, it’s as much a vibrant college town as a pampered celebrity hangout.
Our Los Angeles Westwood English school is just minutes away from UCLA, and a short bus ride from the gorgeous beaches of Santa Monica
A packed social program includes acting workshops and surf lessons
Westwood is a pedestrian district and our school is just steps away from local bus stops and bikeshare schemes
The school is a large, modern facility featuring two comfortable student lounges and a music room
”I can’t choose what I like more. You can find a little of each part of the world in just one city, plus the glamorous celebrities that maybe you can see. Can’t forget about the weather and people that are amazing.”
