Speak with fluency.When you come to CPC, you expect to speak English. We take that very seriously. Our organic method, specially created by CPC, makes that possible. It’s a process that promotes natural language development, and it’s used in all of our learning activities.

The CPC Organic Method works by repeating three simple steps.

THINK Projects and activities are created by CPC to demonstrate specific language structures and skills. When you engage in them, you’ll rely on your individual knowledge to figure out how to complete the task.

DO Building on your existing skills and working in collaboration with group members, you’ll apply what you already know towards completing the development activity.

REFLECT When you’re finished, you’ll take time to consider what you’ve accomplished, recognize what you’ve learned from the project, and find its relevance to your own personal life.

How we make it easy:

CPC is open to students with an F-1 student visa as well as short term visitors.

You can choose from five different programs, depending on your age and level.

You can participate in unique academic workshops and language exchange outside class times.
