St Giles San Francisco
Our Center - a warm Californian welcome
Our center in San Francisco occupies two historic buildings which have been refurbished into modern business centers. The buildings are opposite each other and located on famous downtown Market Street – home to some of the US’s highest rated shopping and dining - and just two blocks from popular Union Square and the gates of Chinatown.
With a population of 800,000 the city combines commercial buzz with a lively and alternative ‘beat’ culture, making this a relaxed yet vibrant and welcoming city. Our medium-sized lively school, with a very international feel, is ideal for students looking for the Californian experience and a friendly welcome.
