About the American Academy of English

At the American Academy of English, we have been helping students learn and master the English language since 1982. Our school was opened to address the needs of the international student and assist with the necessary English language training for academic and professional growth. Studying English can be the most important step in your education or career.

Today we have grown to continue to meet the same needs for those students. To help you, we offer the latest in modern programs and facilities. Our professionally and university-trained instructors are a distinct feature of our program. The school is conveniently located in the heart of San Francisco, so students have easy access to everything this renowned city has to offer.

Our nationally accredited program ensures that we meet and exceed the standards necessary to fulfill your academic and professional goals. The American Academy’s English as a Second Language Program is specially designed for international students. The Academy focuses on teaching students who want to use English in colleges, universities, business and daily life. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, race, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.
