- Due to the current Coronavirus situation and number of new cases still appearing in LA County on a daily basis, we have decided that all current online students will remain online until April 9th 2021.
For new students coming into the country, we have opened a Conversation Program in-person starting from 9/21/2020. This program has certain safety measures put into place such as social distancing in classrooms, mandatory masks, and frequent sanitation. As time goes on, we will gradually open other programs based on our students' needs, as well as the progression of the COVID-19 situation in Los Angeles.
Thank you for your understanding and patience, and we will continue to keep you updated. FAQ COVID-19
