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.
