Washington, DC

Imagine a city that feels like a park but has museums, concerts, monuments, festivals and great restaurants. You have heard about Washington, DC, the capital of the United States, for a long time. Aren't you curious to see what it is really like? This city was made for tourists. The museums are free, the concerts are numerous, the people are friendly and helpful and the public transportation is very convenient. Come for a month to visit or come for a few years to improve your English and then continue on to study at a famous University.

Study at one of our Centers in the Washington D.C. area. One located right in the heart of the nation's Capitol at Dupont Circle near:

Subway and bus stops
Free museums, galleries, and zoo
The National Cathedral
The White House
The Capitol

The second Washington, D.C. area Center, known as English House, is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a beautiful suburb just 15 miles outside of the city.

Or, you may join our Center at Davis & Elkins College and enjoy West Virginia's beautiful nature (hiking, rafting, skiing, etc.)
