At the ELCI, we know how to take care of our students. We take the time to make sure our students have a good experience and have what they need.

Environment is important to learning. Our small town locations are friendly and safe.  We help students connect with their environment for real learning. 

Oregon has no sales tax, so the cost of living is lower.  Our students have access to college campus facilities.

Our Interactive Teaching Philosophy and small classes ensure that you will not only be learning English, you will be using it! Our friendly, professional teachers find ways to have you interact with your environment to stimulate faster learning. With a variety of teachers and level appropriate instruction, you can fulfill your learning goals quickly.

Our Homestays are friendly and kind. They are happy to make you a part of the family. Homestay can be an important part of your learning environment. Apartment living is another inexpensive option.

The ELCI has a full activity calendar. Our Living Language Labs (LLL) are designed with learning and fun in mind. You will learn, ask questions, and enjoy! There are many beautiful and fun places to see and experience, including: The Oregon Coast, Silver Falls, Portland, Salem, Corvallis, Skiing, Hiking, Festivals, and more!

Our program is very cost effective. There are cost savings for long term students. The longer you study with us the more you save on each class. Small town savings mean you can learn more.
