English Courses in Seattle

EF’s English courses in Seattle offer students the typical American campus experience in a setting of unrivaled natural beauty.

Study English on our typical university campus and get a taste of the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. Our English courses in Seattle are situated on the campus of Evergreen State College in the Washington State capital of Olympia, about 90 kilometers from downtown Seattle. Nestled on 1,000 acres of thick woodland, our language courses are held in the shadow of snow-capped mountains.

Our Seattle school is ideal for active students and nature lovers. Our students supplement their English courses in Seattle with swims in the onsite indoor pool, organized games on one of the several playing fields or exhilarating hikes through the nearby wilderness. Olympia is a laidback city known for its live music venues, coffee houses and local arts scene. On the weekends our students head for downtown Seattle to take in the culture and shopping of the Pacific Northwest’s most important city.

America’s Emerald City

Seattle balances an urban cool with an admiration for the natural beauty that surrounds it. Known as the Emerald City, Seattle takes its nickname from the lush evergreen forests surrounding it rather than from the arts or music scenes thriving inside city limits. People in Seattle might live in a world-class urban center but they are nature lovers at heart. Mountain ranges and sparkling blue waters surround Seattle, so the respect for wildlife shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Locals are predictably active and students enrolled in our English courses in Seattle discover passion for the outdoors, spending weekends hiking on Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helen’s or relaxing on a Pacific Ocean beach. The original home of Starbucks, Seattle is the capital of café culture in the United States. Seattle also has an international reputation for its live music scene, and shows big and small can be found every day of the week.
