The English Language Center (TELC) is the largest English language program in New York City. Since 1971, we have served over 275,000 students from over 80 countries.

TELC belongs to the Division of Adult and Continuing Education at LaGuardia Community College, which is one of 24 branches of the City University of New York (CUNY). As a community college, LaGuardia offers two-year academic degrees called associate’s degrees. After finishing at LaGuardia, many students transfer to one of CUNY’s four-year colleges to study for bachelor’s degrees.

The classes at TELC are designed to help improve your language skills and help you reach other goals, such as enrolling in college, or living more comfortably in the United States.
