The International Center for Language Studies (ICLS) was founded in 1966 in Washington, DC as a woman-owned, private organization dedicated to teaching foreign languages and English as a Second Language.
Since its inception, ICLS has worked cooperatively with international organizations, government agencies, private companies, and individual students from all over the world, providing language instruction and testing in over 80 languages. We train diplomats, government and military officials, business executives, development specialists, university and college students, medical personnel, lawyers, judges, economists, and their families.
Our relationships with government agencies and international organizations such as the US Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense and the World Bank have been long-standing; most have been our clients for over 20 years. Our relationships with individuals who have made language learning a life-long commitment have been just as long.
Licensed by the Education Licensure Commission of the District of Columbia, ICLS is a founding member of the Association of Proprietary and Public Language Schools (APPLS) and the American Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP). Many of the ICLS staff are members of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and NAFSA: Association of International Educators. ICLS has been granted institutional accreditation for all of its programs by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation (CEA). ICLS participated in the nationwide setting of standards for foreign language instruction and follows the ASTM standard F1562 on Use-Oriented Foreign Language Instruction. ICLS is authorized under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant alien students and has been designated by the U.S. Department of State as a sponsor of an Exchange Visitor Program.
