CEL Pacific Beach
CEL Pacific Beach
Located steps from the popular Pacific Beach in Southern California, our partner school offers a winning combination: high-quality English classes in a relaxed atmosphere. This means students can not only enjoy the beach and the many cafés and restaurants that line it, but also benefit from excellent language programmes specifically designed for international students. The school building is entirely air-conditioned and includes 14 bright classrooms, a student lounge, an orientation room and free Wi-Fi. Classes are made up of 7 students on average (max. 12) so teachers may devote enough time to each student without slowing down the teaching pace. Many of the classrooms are fitted with interactive whiteboards or smart TVs, providing students with an immersive, modern learning experience.

Leisure
The school already has a foot in the ocean, so no doubt you will spend most of your time in the water too! But San Diego and its area offer a multitude of other fascinating activities. Visit Balboa Park, the heart of the local cultural scene, with its three museums, historical gardens and exact replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Also explore the Old Town district, known as the cradle of California, and its 17 documented historical sites. The school will organise activities to allow you to get to know the other students from throughout the world. Every Tuesday, the programme is free, with activities including beach sports and trips in the area. From Wednesday to Friday, excursions (Los Angeles, Six Flags Amusement Park, San Diego Zoo, etc.) and sports activities (surfing, kayaking, etc.) are offered at a charge, as are weekend trips to Las Vegas or San Francisco. If you want to discover some must-see attractions on your own, the Grand Canyon, Disneyland and Universal Studios are ideal for a daytrip with friends!
