English school in Santa Barbara

Sheltered by mountains and lapped by sparkling waves, Santa Barbara is a glimpse of Mediterranean elegance on the shores of the Pacific

Our Santa Barbara school

There are no skyscrapers to block the views of the sky and sea in this sophisticated little coastal town. With its red-tiled roofs, white stucco walls and palm trees, Santa Barbara often feels as if it’s been transported straight from Tuscany or Spain – but its broad white beaches are pure California. Just steps outside our Santa Barbara English school, a stroll down the flower-lined State Street will take you towards the ocean, passing outdoor wine bars and fashion boutiques along the way.

ONLINE LEARNING

We have temporarily moved to virtual learning at our Santa Barbara school due to local government advice for Coronavirus. Find out more about how we are keeping our students safe in the USA.

  • Our English school in Santa Barbara is located on the campus of Santa Barbara City College, just moments away from beautiful white sand beaches, with volleyball courts, bike rentals, and surf sites 
  • Organizes regular weekend trips to Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas
