Our
Mission
Our mission is to provide an Intensive English Program (IEP) that trains a culturally diverse student body from all over the world to become fluent in American English. By meeting these goals we will deliver on our mission and excel in the education field
To achieve this mission, the School has identified these additional objectives:
1. To deliver content-based English language courses designed to help students acquire fluent language skills, be able to think critically in English, to communicate ideas clearly, and demonstrate comprehension competence in English through integrated instruction, tasks and projects.
2. To provide an educational environment that encourages an appreciation of academic language studies coupled with American Culture.
3. To uphold our commitment to have a diverse student community while offering policies that hold students accountable to the school’s high standards of learning.
Our faculty and staff have numerous years of experience to offer academic challenges that meet the individual needs of all students. The results of our continual pursuit of serving the needs of the students are apparent in the graduates of our schools in New York, and New Jersey, many of whom have continued on to colleges and universities for undergraduate and graduate degree programs while others have established careers thanks to the improvement of their English level.
We look forward to providing the students at AEC Los Angeles with the same level of quality education. We look forward to meeting you upon your arrival! Your future begins at AEC Los Angeles!
Best Regards,
