Our partner school in San Diego, Converse International School of Languages, receives students (13-17 years old) from many countries for its youth course each year. The youth course is an all-inclusive programme which takes place in July and August. The program features a two, three, or four-week English language training course, daily afternoon activities, and weekend excursions.
The programme takes place at the University of San Diego Campus. The University of San Diego’s landscaped courtyards with its Spanish Renaissance and Mission Style buildings pale only in comparison to its stunning views of San Diego, Mission Bay, and the Pacific Ocean.
English lessons
The English course offers a complete and thorough academic program consisting of grammar, comprehension, expression, vocabulary building, and fluency development. The course includes 20 lessons per week and afternoon cultural workshops twice a week. In addition to English classes Monday-Friday 9:00am-12:30 pm, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons 1:30-3:00pm, students will engage in lively discussions and conversation exercises which relate directly to their afternoon/weekend activities.
