San Francisco has a number of specialty schools, yet none are more popular than the English language schools that draw international visitors throughout the year. Partially dependent on worldwide economic ups and downs, political woes and currency fluctuations, adult schools offering English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, reside in their own unique educational niche.
Generally speaking, the summer months see the highest enrollment numbers at English language schools, and San Francisco Bay Area schools are among those benefiting this season. It may surprise local residents to learn that there are many high quality English language schools in the area. While general English courses are most popular, Business English is a study area that is often requested, and many business people, including executives and professionals in all levels of business from around the world, come to San Francisco to study.
For many of these learners, English is more than a mere interest. From traveling university students to business executives, English has become the passport to added financial benefits back home, as English language proficiency has become a requisite skill around the world.
The following is a list of recognized ESL schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Costs run from affordable to pricier options, depending on what is offered. Contact the individual schools and visit their websites for complete information.
