Welcome to American Language Academy

American Language Academy* (ALA) can make a difference in your life. We realize that our students will achieve the results we expect only if we provide a meaningful, engaging, and challenging educational experience. Our programs are designed to give personal attention to every student in an open and interactive environment, where we show respect for your culture and background. We focus on you acquiring the English skills necessary to achieve your personal language goals. We offer “immersion” tours and a wide range of out-of-class activities that reinforce learning and provide educational, cultural, and recreational enrichment.

ALA will meet your English language needs with various courses and levels such as in our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) intensive program, as well as through specialized English training and English language tutoring. In addition, we can provide short-term, focused language courses for groups in the summer or at other convenient times during the year.

If you wish to attend college, you can receive a Conditional Letter of Admission* (CLA) to a partner college or university upon enrollment in our intensive program. Our student services advisors will work to help you apply for admission to the university or college of your choice.

ALA is centrally located in the safe, beautiful, and vibrant city of Greensboro, North Carolina. Our main campus is ideally situated near the center of downtown Greensboro and among seven major universities and college campuses. In addition to our main Greensboro campus location, we also hold classes on the beautiful and historic Guilford College, where you can experience student life on an American college campus.
