"A very friendly and heartful place to improve your English"

Quirin Klaasen-van Husen, student from Germany

The teacher was very close and sympathetic to the students and had a very good and personal connection with the students. The location was very good because it was very close to our hotel and there were many good places to eat breakfeast or drink a good coffee. Also the facilities were very good because there was a clean restroom and a kitchen where you could warm your food or make coffee. My stay in the school was too short so I couldn´t wittness any of the activities but from what I´ve heard they were very interessting.

Classic San Francisco Victorian built in 1906, The Monroe is a favorite stopping place for travelers, business people, students and locals. The Monroe
The Monroe
Located amidst the parks and mansions of tree-filled Pacific Heights, the friendly and affordable Monroe combines the best features of a hotel and an apartment.

Included in the studio price are full-choice American-style breakfasts and tasty, four-course dinners served Monday through Saturday, with a continental breakfast and hearty brunch offered on Sunday. Housekeeping service is also provided.

Ideally situated for those without a car, The Monroe is steps away from the bus stop and one block from the cable car line, which passes through Chinatown on the pleasant ten-minute trip to the downtown business and shopping districts. All studios are equipped with telephones, and a 24-hour switchboard takes messages, and is happy to provide wake-up calls.

The Monroe affords as much privacy, or company, as you choose--with a television lounge, billiards room, study room, and laundry room available to guests. On winter's days, many enjoy reading and chatting by the polished mahogany fireplace, a gracious reminder of old San Francisco.

We look forward to seeing you at The Monroe!

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. The school is also not authorized to issue an I-20 to support an F-1 student visa application. If you need a visa, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to San Francisco based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
