ELC Summer 2024 Updates

Happy New Year!

We hope 2023 was successful for all our partners and that 2024 brings good health, happiness and lots of students.
After a very successful summer at our UCLA campuses and at our Boston University Junior campus, we are excited to see what the summer of 2024 will bring us. We hosted over 250 students from over 15 different countries!
All of our summer campus programs (UCLA Junior Program, UCSB Junior Program, Boston University Junior Program and the UCLA Adult Campus Program) are running in 2024 and we are looking forward to welcoming students to all four programs.

We have some exciting news;
Our UCLA Junior and Adult Summer Campus programs will begin one week later and run for six weeks. The programs will start on June 29 and run through August 10.
The Boston University and UCSB Junior programs will run for four weeks starting on June 29 and run through July 27. Please see the links below for updated 2024 flyers.

As many of you know, the 2028 Summer Olympic games will be held in Los Angeles. And the preparations have begun. The Olympic Village itself will be on the UCLA Campus! ELC students in both our Junior and Adult programs will be staying in the same dorms and using the same facilities as the Olympic athletes will be using in 2028!

Due to the overwhelming feedback from our students to have afternoons free to attend our fun and exciting afternoon activities that we offer daily, we moved our popular explorer programs to the mornings as optional electives instead of in the afternoon. Therefore, the Filmmaking (at the UCLA Junior Campus) and University Preparation (at the UCLA and Boston University Junior Campuses) will be offered as optional specialized electives during the second half of Communications Skills class.

Please see our sample weekly schedule below.
