!Flashback Friday!

Ten years ago, our English Institute students spent a summer day camping at the beach in Assateague, building friendships, practicing English, and creating memories that lasted far beyond the classroom.

For 25 years, the English Institute has been doing awesome things like this, creating opportunities for learners from around the world to build confidence, connect with their community, and take the next step toward their personal, academic, and professional goals.
