Embassy CES Los Angeles

Manhattan Beach, 19 miles south-west of Los Angeles, is the site of our school. Famous for its 40 acres of sandy beaches, Manhattan Beach offers our students a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere in which to study.

The school is situated within a Chapman University learning centre. Chapman University is one of the oldest educational institutions in California. It is only a 20-minute trip from central Los Angeles and very convenient for Los Angeles Airport, which is just three miles away. You can be settling in to your new accommodation within an hour of your plane landing.

Chapman University is a private institution, which offers a wide range of undergraduate degree programmes specialising in arts, sciences, film and business. If your English is at a high enough level, you will be able to join Chapman University classes, which are held in the evening. You will also be able to join American students in university activities.

When full, the Los Angeles school has a capacity of 150 students. The minimum age is 16.

Facilities

Students at Embassy CES Los Angeles enjoy modern, fully equipped classrooms with integrated computer facilities. The computer laboratory offers further learning opportunities or a chance to use internet and email facilities at no charge. All our computers support multiple languages.

The school’s integration with campus life offers plenty of opportunities for mixing with the American student population. For example, there is a 24-hour gym on campus which may be used by Embassy CES students.

Very close by are miles and miles of sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, surfing, sunbathing, or just relaxing.

Activities

Los Angeles is a very exciting place and surrounded by celebrated sights like Hollywood, Disneyland and some of the best galleries and museums in the world. Our activities organisers will make sure you don’t miss any of them.

When you arrive, you will complete a questionnaire to tell us what you would like to see, and what your budget is. In this way, the activities programme reflects the preferences of the majority. But don’t worry if your tastes are not represented: we can also help you organise independent trips. All students are encouraged and assisted in seeing as much of LA as possible in an affordable way. There are often chances to see TV programmes being made, or to visit film studios.
