Grossmont College, American Collegiate English

My Proudest Achievement:
We are proud that Grossmont College’s American Collegiate English (ACE) received a 10-year accreditation with CEA, the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation. Our English program, American Collegiate English, meets the highest possible standard and is accredited at this level through 2030.

My Inspiration:
I am definitely inspired by my students who take great risks to study abroad in a country with a new language and culture. I am inspired how they use English to accomplish their goals, even if they are at the beginner or low-intermediate English level. They arrive knowing no one and leave with lifelong friendships.

What's Special About Grossmont College's American Collegiate English:
American Collegiate English is part of a community college in Southern California. ACE is unique because it is a small English school, but it is part of a larger campus, a larger community of U.S. and international college students. ACE students can choose to immerse themselves in English for personal development or career improvement, then return home. Or they can continue after ACE to obtain a certificate or degree at the college. Either way, ACE students can experience and enjoy college life, including student clubs and events.
