Through ESL, Stundents will study English with people from other countries to learn grammar, writing, listening, and speaking. We will Learn how to use English in various situations and scenarios, and study to get more information in English.

Hollywood is well-known as the heart of the entertainment industry. The Oscars Award Ceremony, as well as many movie premiers are hosted at the Dolby theater, just 2 minutes from our Hollywood campus. You’re likely to see a famous movie star in Hollywood as they exit their limousines outside the Dolby Theater! Our Hollywood students tend to be interested in aspects of the entertainment such as Dance, Music, Acting, Film, Yoga and so on. The well-known Musician’s Institute is directly across the street from our Hollywood campus. There are also many dance studios in the area such as:

Musician Institute

Edge Performing Arts

Millennium Dance Complex

Debbie Raynolds

MovementLifestyle

Los Angeles Film School

NY Film Academy

Hollywood's convenient location is perfect for international students who often rely on public transportation (the Hollywood & Highland stop is just a 2 minute walk from campus.)

If you would like to study in a small class environment and be close to the entertainment/movie/music industry, please join us at MLI-Hollywood!
