Customized Curriculum
Studying English in Windsor may feel a little “laid back,” but you’ll be surprised how much learning you can pack in. Live the California lifestyle while advancing your English for personal or professional improvement. Designed over 20 years in Silicon Valley, the curriculum features (distinctly American) pronunciation and accent reduction; British and American grammar and vocabulary for business and other professions; and interactive conversational gambits to help you participate well in English meetings.
Lessons anywhere
Take your lessons outside with tours of charming towns in Sonoma County or Napa Valley. Activities include baseball games; live theater; wine tastings; food/wine pairings; brewery tours; classic car shows; farmers markets and art festivals; town square concerts and parades; fireworks and drone shows; farm tours; shop and farm demonstrations; and many more year-round events. Most important are natural conversations with people you meet – both friends and strangers – with a teacher at your side to offer support.
Language worksheets help you notice and interact with all the linguistic clues that surround you on visits to: breweries; art galleries; drug stores; grocery stores; restaurants, and many other places where you can practice language skills.
Your language ability is assessed according to the Common European Framework of Language Standards (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.), and we will work with material aimed at the next highest level.
Accommodations with all meals included
Your accommodation includes two bedrooms and a private bathroom in a single-family house in a quiet neighborhood on a golf course. Walking is safe and pleasant, especially on the 2-mile path to downtown Windsor. All meals (both home-cooked and restaurant fare) are included and customized for your tastes and dietary needs.
