Super friendly staff, very reasonable prices , and super diverse people. I really loved the time that spent there and I can fully recommend them. Thank you guys !
I have been a student at this school for over a year, and I’d like to share some of my experiences: 1. The official attendance policy listed by the school sometimes differs from how it is actually enforced. 2. Vacation requests must be submitted two weeks in advance. Meeting the school’s requirements for grades and attendance by the time the request is reviewed is not always guaranteed. Email responses are typically once a day and only Monday through Friday, even though classes are held on weekends. There is also a vacation deposit of $245 required before the vacation, plus an additional $300 one week before the vacation ends, totaling $545. 3. If you need to transfer or withdraw, the school may keep you enrolled in the program for an additional 4–8 weeks for various administrative reasons. 4. Teachers change frequently, sometimes without prior notice or explanation. 5. Class sizes are often larger than advertised. Although the school states 4–15 students per class, in my experience most classes had 18–20 students, and sometimes up to 24. Some classrooms have limited ventilation, so air circulation can be poor. 6. The daily schedule for the full-day program is long — 10.5 hours — which can be challenging for some students. These points are based on my personal experience over more than a year at the school. I share them to help other students make an informed decision. At the same time, I have also appreciated the dedication of the staff and the opportunities to learn in a structured environment.
California Language Academy offers a welcoming and supportive environment for language learners of all levels. All staff and teachers are attentive and dedicated to teaching and treating us well. Thank you very much for everything you did for us during this period of study.
