Since 1975, IEP in Riverside, California has provided high quality English language instruction to international students from over 120 countries.
Each year students from all around the world have come to IEP to learn to speak, read and write English fluently. Professional faculty have made the learning experience enjoyable and fast English learning comes naturally and easily.
In addition to our excellent language program, our students will have field trips, parties and other activities. They will make international contacts and friends from California and all over the world while attending IEP.
IEP is located in beautiful Riverside, on the UCR campus. It is within driving distance of the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Legoland, and various other places of interest. We hope to welcome you in the very near future. Thank you for considering an English school in California.
