City University

School Introduction

City University’s main campus is in Bellevue, Washington, where you will attend ESL classes. Bellevue is located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Seattle. This area is home to many of the most important businesses in the world such as Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, and Amazon.com. Our campus is five minutes from the beauty of Lake Washington, 40 minutes from skiing in the Cascade Mountains, and 2.5 hours from Vancouver, B.C. A bus system operates between Bellevue and the greater Seattle area. There are many apartments available near the Bellevue campus, along with numerous shopping and recreation areas.

ESL Program Introduction

City University’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program is wholly dedicated to providing you with the necessary skills and confidence in English required for success in your university studies at the undergraduate or graduate level. The program benefits include experienced instructors, personalize attention due to small class sizes (under 15 students), and completion of level 6 authorizes students to enter City University’s Bachelor and language assisted MBA programs without any further proof of English proficiency.
