Kayaking on Lake Michigan, weekend trips to nearby state parks, nights out in buzzing live music venues—this is what local life looks like in Chicago. An academic year from 6 months to a year in this exciting city is your best chance to live like an American local! Our partner school puts you in downtown Chicago’s vibrant heart, right on the iconic Magnificent Mile. You’ll be surrounded by designer shops, global eats, museums, libraries, and easy transport links. Inside, you’ll find 15 modern classrooms with interactive whiteboards, a computer lab with free internet, a library, and two student lounges — one overlooking the historic Tribune Tower. After class, relax in the beautiful parks lining Lake Michigan’s waterfront. With so much nearby, Chicago is an amazing place to level up your English while living city life to the fullest.
