LASC CAMPUSES
Live, Learn, Let Loose
LASC has three campuses across sunny Southern California. Our
locations are just minutes away from some of California's most popular
tourist attractions and situated in areas that offer plenty of
amenities, as well as ample housing and entertainment options. Learn
how to surf at Huntington Beach, the surf capital of the world. Take a
trip to Disneyland, shop on Rodeo Drive, walk the stars on Hollywood
Boulevard or cruise down Pacific Coast Highway to take in the sights.
At LASC we strongly encourage our students to leave the four walls of
our classrooms and go out to experience all that California has to
offer. Our aim is to employ our students with the language skills they
need to operate and interact with the world around them. So, what are
you waiting for? Let's start exploring!

En LASC vas a encontrar un buen ambiente estudiantil, con excelentes
profesores que ayudarán a mejorar tu nivel de inglés de manera
satisfactoria en un periodo corto de tiempo. Estando en LASC he podido
compartir con personas de todo el mundo, aprender su cultura y sus

Английский язык с нуля я начала
изучать в LASC. Эта школа способна дать
все необходимые знания и навыки
английского языка и американской
культуры: произношение, понимание,
умение говорить , используя
правильные слова и фразы. Учителя этой
школы – это главное ее достояние.
Именно учителя LASC превращают мое
изучение языка в увлекательный и
познавательный процесс.

Lo que pienso sobre LASC? Después de haber estado en otro colegio de
Inglés, creo que LASC es un colegio serio y muy profesional para
aprender inglés. Tienen clases muy interesantes para estudiantes de
nivel avanzado como aprender sobre los diferentes modismos. Todos los
profesores con los que he tomado clases son realmente calificados como
profesores de Inglés como segundo idioma.

LASC-Irvine is fantastic!!! They have different English levels from
beginning to advance, and also TOEFL class. School has partnered with
many colleges and universities that student can apply without TOEFL
scores as long as they finished the certain level. Their teacher’s
team is excellent!!! Students are really enjoy their classes and they
can make many friends. School staffs are also very good and polite.
They have Japanese rep, Chinese rep, Middle eastern rep, so they can
provide bilingual service. LASC is credited by ACCET and can issue F1
initial I20 and change of status I20. So if anyone need F1 status,
LASC is a good choice.
