Get to know Language Systems


Language Systems International College of English, an accredited Language school in Los Angeles, was founded in 1987 with the purpose of providing English as a Second Language (ESL) and test preparation, such as TOEFL iBT®, to international students.

We provide high-quality language programs designed to build students’ skills and self-confidence when communicating in English in either academic or professional situations.

We provide language instruction that helps international students function successfully in an English-speaking environment, introduces study habits common to those expected at American institutions of higher learning, and assists in the development of critical abilities to think, read, write, listen, and communicate effectively in English.
