ABOUT ELCI-MONMOUTH
The ELCI is a place of both comfort and growth for students. We pride ourselves on making everyone feel at home by sharing culture and language with one another. If students are comfortable and supported, they can learn quickly. Our focus is always to help students create their own success in studying English. Students come to the ELCI knowing it is an English language school, but the mentorship and personal approach to education are what make our schools unique and wonderful.
