Locating information on English language schools in the United States on the Internet has become relatively easy. There are three main types of websites for you to look at:

  • English language programs' own websites;
  • the websites of professional associations and accrediting bodies, which list their member programs;
  • commercial sites that list language training programs. These sites include institutions that have paid fees to have their sites listed and to have their websites linked to the site.

Below is a selection of different types of websites, all with useful information on English language programs.
