Washington as an iconic destination for language study 

Washington State is the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Founded on July 16, 1790, Washington, DC is unique among American cities because it was established by the Constitution of the United States to serve as the nation’s capital.

Immersed in history, Washington is both a vibrant and culturally diverse city today.

The city is rich with international cultures, African American heritage and culture. After more than 200 years as the nation’s capital, Washington has developed as a complex and layered city, with a distinctive character: both a town for locals, an international center of power and an amazing place to visit.

Learning in such an iconic destination means you can have the best of both worlds by delving into the nation’s past with a visit on the National Mall and museums or adventuring into very modern, exciting neighbourhoods.
