Picture Perfect

Study English in Santa Barbara! The palm-lined squares, shady arcades and fountains of Santa Barbara create a picture-perfect setting in which to learn English. Mild temperatures mean year-round outdoor activities, from rollerblading along the beachfront promenade to sailing, biking and golf. Explore the architecture of Santa Barbara Mission, a testimony to the heritage of the early Californian settlers. State Street offers exclusive boutiques, famous name department stores and intriguing antique shops. After school, meet friends, practice your English and watch the sunset at a beachside café.
