What is the English School?

The English School offers total immersion (4 weeks) in the language and is designed to help students improve their communication skills as well as receive further training in missions, minister in English-speaking settings, and be better prepared to fulfill God’s calling. The school is committed to seeing students grow and develop as individuals.

The term includes class time, worship, intercession, outings, work duties, and other activities to fully immerse in the language. The YWAM LA base is an ideal place not only to learn but also to practice your English as there are a lot of English native speakers and people from all over the world who are still learning and practicing English!
