L&T: We care!

At Languages & Travel, we do not offer a second-year high school program in the United States, see here Why? We believe that courses in language schools, where you can also choose to take IELTS exam preparation courses, adding modules such as business English is more interesting.

Our organization's core mission is to help young people embark on long-term trips abroad, acquiring new skills that extend beyond English and combine English language courses with paid employment. To achieve this, we specialize in working holiday visa programs. So why not combine language courses in California with a working holiday visa in Canada ?

For those who wish to learn English in an alternative way, we also organize ranch stays in the United States.
