Full –Time Students
Golden Gate Language School (GGLS) has two full-time programs.
Both programs allow you to study and practice English all day at the school – in the classroom, during social activities, at lunchtime and, of course, with your friends.
If you are planning to attend a U.S. college or university after your English studies, you might consider entering the Conditional College Acceptance Program. At GGLS, you can prepare for the TOEFL Test or complete the TOEFL Waiver Guaranteed Transfer Program.

Part-Time Instruction
We recommend dedicating 1-4 hours per day to improve your English and allowing time for other activities. This schedule enables you to enhance your speaking and listening skills while still having the rest of the day to explore California. Part-time tuition is $70 per hour. If your English level aligns with a group session, the tuition is $50 per hour.
Start classes at any time and study for any length of time. Just call a few days in advance to schedule a placement test and evaluation.
