INTERESTED IN LANGUAGE SCHOOLS

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program at Cañada College is not as intensive as a program at an English Language School. Therefore, upon completion of the advanced level of a language school program, students can transfer to Cañada College.  You can be required to take additional English instruction when you transfer to Cañada College.   Cañada College cannot issue an I-20 form to students with a major of "English as a Second Language Program".  The ESL courses are available to International Students in addition to their academic program. The followings are some of the language school in the area:

Language Pacifica

ELS Language
