USA Language Schools

Language schools can be independently run international or local organizations or divisions of foreign universities. They rarely offer college credit, but are a good alternative to university study if you desire greater focus on the language or a less rigorous courseload. These programs are also good for younger high school students who might not feel comfortable with older students in a university program.
