I have attended Los Angeles International Charter High School, since my freshman year and I have been able to witness the changes that have taken place throughout the years. As a freshman, I was very disappointed in the culture and atmosphere in the school. I dreaded going to school every day. Fortunately, within the next two years there were changes in staff, the school atmosphere, professional relationships between students and teachers, and student engagement. Students became more engaged with their studies while administrator and staff worked hard to create a more welcoming environment for their students. Los Angeles International Charter High School has changed for the better and is a great college preparatory school. Although the school takes pride in their approximately two hundred student, it is a very small campus and I believe it would be better to have more space. Thank you to the staff for not giving up on their students.

I genuinely enjoyed my experience throughout K-12 due to the amazing staff, administration, and friends I’ve met along the way.

Attending for about two years only, this small charter High school makes it a good environment to know the staff and students. Being small though has its drawbacks as it isnt your typical high school. Needs improvement financially to make the school look better and feel good. Made up by mostly hispanics, teachers try their best to give the best of academics. Placing studies before sports, the players of each team are good especially volleyball! overall an average school but could be better.

Student Demographics

Student Enrollment

The total enrollment at Los Angeles International Charter High School is 271 students, making it a
somewhat small high school, in the bottom half of all California high schools by size.

As a smaller-sized high school, Los Angeles International Charter High will feel like a cozy learning environment. With fewer than 100 students in your class, you’ll likely get to know most other students and your teachers well. This will give you the feeling of a small liberal arts college.

But with a smaller student body, you won’t have as many activities and clubs to choose from. If you find Los Angeles International Charter High lacking for your interests, consider looking to your local community to supplement your interests.

Growth in Student Body Size

Is Los Angeles International Charter High School growing or shrinking? This will help you see trends in where the school is headed.

From our calculations, the enrollment at Los Angeles International Charter High has steadily
increased over the past few years. We calculate this by comparing enrollment in grades 9 to 12.

As you can see in the table above, the freshman class is 39 students larger than the senior class. This suggests that the school is growing in size and taking on more students.

There are a few reasons this could be happening. The city of Los Angeles could be growing in population, thus sending more students into Los Angeles International Charter High. Alternatively, Los Angeles International Charter High could be relaxing its student policies and taking in more students.

Gender Split

Are there more boys or girls at Los Angeles International Charter High School?

From our statistics, Los Angeles International Charter High has a 45:55 split between male and female students in the high school grades.

Los Angeles International Charter High has a balanced male-female ratio that’s largely representative of the general population in Los Angeles County. Since the student body is roughly half and half, it should feel like there are equal numbers of boys and girls in your classes.

This usually means that Los Angeles International Charter High doesn’t strongly select for either males or females, unlike other schools that have a large majority of males or females.

Ethnicity Breakdown

What’s the racial diversity at Los Angeles International Charter High School? Does one ethnicity make up most of the student body, or is it fairly balanced?

From our statistics, Los Angeles International Charter High has a
homogenous student body, with the overwhelming majority of students identifying as one ethnicity. Only a third of California schools show as little diversity as Los Angeles International Charter High does. When attending class, most students will be of the same ethnicity, with some variation.

The majority of students at Los Angeles International Charter High are
Hispanic. In California, Hispanic students make up the majority of all students at 51.5%, and are thus the most common ethnicity. Predominantly Hispanic schools are the most common type of homogenous school, and Los Angeles International Charter High fits within this category.

	Percentage	Number
American Indian/Alaska Native	0.0%	0
Asian	2.2%	6
Hispanic	78.5%	213
Black	0.3%	1
White	2.2%	6
Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander	0.0%	0
Two or more races	16. 6%	45

High schools usually reflect the population in the surrounding area, so the ethnicities of students likely resembles those of Los Angeles. If you’d like to see how other nearby schools look in diversity, just google “[name of school] prepscholar” to find our guide to that specific school.

Income Level of Los Angeles International Charter High Families

What are the family incomes of students at Los Angeles International Charter High School? To determine this, we look at the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches, a classification by the US federal government.

To qualify for a reduced price meal, family income needs to be below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $45,000 or below.

To qualify for a free meal, family income needs to be below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $32,000 or below.

The lower the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals, the higher the income levels are likely to be.

At Los Angeles International Charter High, 16.6% of students qualify for reduced-price lunches, and 57.5% qualify for free lunches.

This means Los Angeles International Charter High has a
moderate percentage of students at or near poverty. About half of all schools in California show this level of poverty or greater. The income level of families in Los Angeles is likely to be relatively low.

As with ethnicity, this likely reflects the surrounding community in Los Angeles and doesn’t speak much about the school itself.

Los Angeles International Charter High is in the middle 50% of schools by income level. Generally, higher income level schools are better-funded and have a higher quality range of classes and activities. Los Angeles International Charter High is likely in the middle of the pack in this regard and will give you a good set of options to try.

If you have any interests that Los Angeles International Charter High doesn’t cover, look to your local community for activities, or to the Internet for self-study AP classes.

School Safety

How safe is Los Angeles International Charter High School to attend? Can you expect a lot of conflict as a student here?

To study this, we look at disciplinary data for two types of incidents at Los Angeles International Charter High: referrals to law enforcement (when incidents are reported to police), and arrests.

These are the most serious disciplinary actions available to school administration and are more severe than suspensions or expulsions. Suspensions are often discretionary and can be given just for being disruptive in class. In contrast, law enforcement referrals and arrests often indicate incidents that put the safety of other Los Angeles International Charter High students at risk.

In the school year of 2011-2012, there were 0 referrals to law enforcement, and 0 school-related arrests. This is out of a total enrollment of 200 students.

To put this into perspective, most California schools (59% of them) reported 0 law enforcement referrals and arrests.

Compare this school with other high schools in the same school district, using the following table:

Los Angeles County Office Of Education School District Safety

School Name	Total Referred	Total Arrests	Enrollment
International Polytechnic High	0	0	514
Soledad Enrichment Action Charter High	0	0	1170

Academic Performance

Now we get to a major aspect of assessing a high school: academic performance. How good of an education will you get at Los Angeles International Charter High School? Will you be competitive for college? Will you have access to advanced classes?

We’ve compiled everything we could find about Los Angeles International Charter High’s academics here.

Standardized Testing

Next, we’ll look at another major piece of high school academics: standardized testing performance for Los Angeles International Charter High School students. These are tests that are administered to large populations of students for comparison purposes.

Let’s start by taking a look at the data for nationally administered standardized tests.

SAT Scores

As you probably know, the SAT is a critical test used for college admissions. The higher the score you get, the better your academic performance compared to students nationwide, and the easier it is to get into top colleges.

We did in-depth research and found the average Los Angeles International Charter High School SAT scores.

The average composite SAT score is a 1250 out of 2400, compared to a national average of 1500. Each year, roughly 99 at Los Angeles International Charter High take the SAT.

This is a very low SAT score, putting Los Angeles International Charter High in the bottom 25% of all California schools, and well below the national average. Only 12% of SAT takers here score above the national average. Unfortunately, this suggests that most students attending Los Angeles International Charter High are not high-achieving, and may find it difficult to be admitted to a good college.

Note, however, that an average is just an average – you still have the potential to rise above expectations. If you work hard and earn an SAT score well above Los Angeles International Charter High’s average, you’ll have a great shot at entering a good college.

Here’s a breakdown of SAT scores by section:

Average SAT Scores (2013-2014)

Note that the SAT has since changed to a 1600 scale, but the trends above for your high school are likely to continue. Just use this guide to convert between the old 2400 scale and the new 1600 scale.

ACT Scores

In California, the ACT is less popular than the SAT. Fewer students take the ACT, and typically these students are more motivated and academically prepared for college. Therefore, it’s harder to compare Los Angeles International Charter High School ACT scores with the rest of the country.

At Los Angeles International Charter High, the average ACT composite score was 15, compared to the nationwide average of 20. Each year, roughly 37 out of 271 total students take the ACT.

Unfortunately, this is well below average performance, putting Los Angeles International Charter High in the bottom 25% of high schools in California. Most students who take the ACT here are well below the national average.

Since the ACT tests what you learn in school, this may be a warning sign that the quality of education you’ll receive at Los Angeles International Charter High may be lacking compared to other schools.

Here are the average English, Math, Reading, and Science scores for Los Angeles International Charter High compared to California and the US:

Advanced Placement (AP)

Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses that are an additional academic challenge may give Los Angeles International Charter High School students credit for college.

Here’s what we’re looking for: high average AP test scores as well as high AP passing rates.

AP Scores

Every year, roughly 27 students in grades 9-12 at Los Angeles International Charter High take 27 AP exams. It’s important to understand how students score on the AP – earning a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP test means passing the test and often earning college credit.

The average score of all AP exams taken at Los Angeles International Charter High is 1.4 out of 5.

Compared to schools across California, this score puts Los Angeles International Charter High at below average performance. On AP tests, the passing score is considered a 3, and unfortunately the number of students who don’t pass is greater than the number of do. This performance places Los Angeles International Charter High School in the bottom 25 % of schools for AP tests.

This isn’t all bad news for you, though. It’s still good that Los Angeles International Charter High offers AP classes so you have the opportunity to take courses at a college level. Your school might be new to offering AP courses, and typically teachers get better at preparing students for AP tests over time. Finally, as you’ll see below, there are still students who earn a passing grade of 3 or above – and with hard work, you can be one of them.

We have specific data on how many students got a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (out of 5) on AP exams in the chart below:

To find out the passing rates for specific AP courses at Los Angeles International Charter High School, you’ll have to talk to your guidance counselor (who can then help you find that information). For instance, one AP Calculus teacher may have an above-90% passing rate, while another might only have a 50% passing rate. If you can, you’ll want to take the class with the teacher who has more students get a 3 or above on the AP exam.

Find out more about the average score for each AP subject here.

State Tests

As of 2014, eleventh graders attending Los Angeles International Charter High School must take standardized tests in English/Language Arts and Math as part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). These align with the new Common Core standards and are called the “Smarter Balanced” tests.

If Los Angeles International Charter High students meet or exceed state standards, they’re academically prepared to graduate high school and go to college. Specifically, we care about the percentage of students who meet or exceed state standards. The larger this number, the higher the preparation of students at Los Angeles International Charter High.

English/Language Arts

At Los Angeles International Charter High School, 78% of students meet or exceed state standards in English/Language Arts.

This is considered very good and puts Los Angeles International Charter High in the top 10% of all high schools in California for English/Language Arts. Most Los Angeles International Charter High students pass or exceed state standards, and many of them are likely well above average.

English/Language Arts Test Results (2015)

Math

The other major test taken for state assessments is Math. Across the state, Math performance is generally lower than English/Language Arts performance, so it’s natural for this number to be lower.

At Los Angeles International Charter High School, 34% of students meet or exceed state standards in Math.
This is considered well below average and puts Los Angeles International Charter High in the bottom 25% of all high schools in California. The vast majority of Los Angeles International Charter High students don’t meet state standards, and only a small percentage pass.

Academic Offerings

In addition to the standard high school curriculum, many high schools like Los Angeles International Charter High School offer advanced coursework as part of the Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.

Brief Intro to AP/IB

AP and IB courses are designed at the difficulty level of college introductory classes. There are several important benefits to taking advanced coursework at Los Angeles International Charter High. First, taking more advanced classes shows colleges that you’re committed to challenging yourself academically, and that you’re one of the more advanced students at Los Angeles International Charter High. Taking AP/IB classes also raises your weighted GPA and makes you a stronger college applicant.

Furthermore, many colleges will accept your Los Angeles International Charter High AP/IB coursework as college coursework. In some cases, you’ll be able to skip introductory-level classes and move to more advanced classes. In other cases, you’ll be able to avoid having to take required courses and might even be able to graduate earlier than the standard 4 years. Often this will require you to pass the AP test, getting a score of 3 or above.

So what advanced courses does Los Angeles International Charter High School offer?

AP Courses

Los Angeles International Charter High School offers AP courses in 3 subjects.

This is a low number of AP subjects, putting Los Angeles International Charter High School in the bottom 25% of California schools offering AP courses. You’ll be very limited in your ability to explore your interests in math, science, humanities, or social sciences at Los Angeles International Charter High.

Take a look at every AP subject offered. If you want to take any AP courses not being offered at Los Angeles International Charter High, ask your counselor for ideas on how to cover the gap. If you’re a strong student and not feeling adequately challenged, you might consider transferring to another high school to access a more advanced curriculum.

Of course, keep in mind that even though Los Angeles International Charter High doesn’t offer many AP courses, it might teach the few it does offer quite well. You can see student performance in the AP score analysis section above.

The following AP courses were offered at Los Angeles International Charter High during 2015-2016:

Sports Teams

Finally, we’ll cover which sports teams are available at Los Angeles International Charter High School. Sports are an integral part of many students’ high school experiences. The more sports that are available, and the more levels supported (Frosh, JV, Varsity), the more likely you’ll be able to participate in a sport at Los Angeles International Charter High.

By the way, the Los Angeles International Charter High mascot is the Bulldogs. Go Bulldogs!

Los Angeles International Charter High School fields 7 teams for girls’ sports.
This is a low number that puts Los Angeles International Charter High in the bottom 25% of California schools that offer girls’ sports. This is understandable – sports teams are expensive to support, and many schools would rather support other programs with their limited resources. If you play a sport that Los Angeles International Charter High doesn’t field a team for, consider joining a local non-school team to get practice and compete.

And now for the boys: Los Angeles International Charter High School fields 11 teams for boys’ sports.
This relatively number puts Los Angeles International Charter High in the bottom 50% of California schools that offer boys’ sports. Sports teams are expensive to support, and Los Angeles International Charter High may not be able to offer the full range of options. If you participate in a sport that Los Angeles International Charter High doesn’t offer, consider joining a local non-school team to get practice and compete.

Why study in Los Angeles
Interesting facts about Los Angeles

The American Dream is closer than you think. Studying in Los Angeles is a real opportunity to be in your favorite movie or TV series. A comfortable climate and the proximity of the ocean will make studying even more enjoyable. The main goal of studying in Los Angeles for Russians is to develop conversational skills. It will be much easier to complete this task, as the city has always been distinguished by its active life, in addition, you can easily find new friends here who will make your study experience more vivid. Here, Russians can get secondary and higher education, as well as come to language courses. Let’s consider each option in more detail.

Language courses in Los Angeles

If your goal is to develop language skills, learn English, have a comfortable and interesting vacation, then language courses in Los Angeles are the best option. Here you can not be afraid of the American accent, as the West Coast dialect is completely neutral, and full immersion in the language environment will make the process of learning the language fast and efficient.

Los Angeles provides a full range of language courses: short and long-term programs, preparation for international exams, sightseeing and educational tours, as well as summer language camps and language schools for children.

During the summer, Los Angeles universities open camps with language courses, as well as academic programs for adults and children. Such courses allow students to gain knowledge in a new field, improve their English language skills and make new friends.

Short-term study in Los Angeles is good for those who:

• Not ready to leave the country for a long time, but want to learn and try studying abroad
• Wants to discover a new field of knowledge or focus on an already loved one, and combine it with teaching English
• Improve English skills in a short time
• Independently choose the duration and intensity of classes.
• Test drive student life in America and prepare for university.

Tuition for language courses in Los Angeles for adults and children starts at $390 per week

Secondary education in Los Angeles as well as boarding schools. Studying at a high school in the United States gives the child the opportunity for comprehensive development, he independently builds a curriculum, chooses extracurricular activities and can play sports professionally.

High school in the United States is divided into two age groups – junior (12-14 years old) and senior (14-18 years old). The training program lasts 12 years, not 11, as in Russia. Upon completion of the training, students take the Matura exam – SAT I and SAT II. The first option is suitable for those who want to go to college, and the second for admission to a prestigious university. Let’s look at each type of school in more detail:

Los Angeles public schools offer a standard set of educational programs, while high school students have the opportunity to choose in-depth courses in core subjects.

Most often, foreign students are given the opportunity to study for one year on an exchange program in grades 9-12. Studying at a Los Angeles public school is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in American culture, the cost of education for international students is not high, but there are also disadvantages, for example, many public schools do not have special language courses, and the quality of education can be patchy.

Los Angeles public school fees range from $17,500 to $27,000 per year

In the case of private schools, the leaders themselves determine the curriculum and the content of the curricula. Here you can find both non-standard creative programs and conservative ones. Private schools in Los Angeles have developed special programs for international students that will help them with further admission to the university. For students in grades 10-12, schools offer the following programs:

• American High School Diploma – a certificate of secondary education;
• International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma) – an international baccalaureate program during which students are engaged in pre-university preparation;
• Advanced Placement (AP) – preparation for admission to prestigious universities abroad, the duration of the program is 2 years.

Private schooling in the United States helps teenagers acquire the necessary social skills and personal qualities, as well as develop their talents.

Los Angeles private school fees range from $26,500 to $70,000 per year

Charter schools are non-profit institutions that also receive funding from public and private sources, but have the ability to set their own admission requirements and choose various methods and forms of education.

The best option for getting a secondary education in Los Angeles is a boarding school, as the issue of a teenager’s place of residence is immediately resolved here. In addition, adaptation in such a school will be much easier and faster, and immersion in the language environment will be maximum. Students with high academic performance receive scholarships at boarding schools.

Los Angeles boarding schools cost from $18,000 to $80,000 per year

How can a Russian teenager get into high school in Los Angeles?

To enter a high school in Los Angeles, a Russian teenager must:

• Provide a certificate of the international language exam
• Provide translated scorecards for the last 3 years
• Provide a portfolio of the student, which will indicate all his school and extracurricular achievements
• Pass a personal interview with a member of the admissions committee or pass special tests

Language courses and secondary education in Los Angeles are a fun and exciting experience that will help you and your children develop their language skills. We are ready to provide an individual consultation, where we will select a suitable program for you and discuss all the necessary details.

History

The school was founded in 1961. It was built for $6 million on a backfilled canyon. At the time, it was the most expensive high school in Los Angeles City Schools. The founding founder was Herbert L. Aigner (died 2000). Class of 2012 was the 50th graduating class.

The estate was originally called All Hallows Farm and was owned for many years by the Conway family: Hollywood movie director Jack Conway; his wife, actress Virginia Conway – daughter of silent film star Francis X. Bushman – and their two sons, one of whom, Pat Conway, also became an actor. The property was subsequently leased to actress Debbie Reynolds and her husband, singer Eddie Fisher. Then it was decided, a few years later, by the state to build a secondary school in the eminent region.

Several members of the class of 1965 were profiled in the Time magazine article that led to the best-selling 1976 book by class members David Wallechinsky and Michael Medved, What Really Happened in the Class of ’65? . The book included interviews with several students in the class, whose experiences were told both individually and in groups on general topics such as the Vietnam War and the project, drug experimentation, and sex. Various school teachers were also interviewed, including French teacher Mr. Fred Johnson and English teachers Ms. Jean O’Brien and Ms. Rose “Mama G” Gilbert, who retired in 2012-2013 after 63 years of teaching . Aged 9For 4 years, Mrs. Gilbert was the oldest active teacher in LAUSD. The character Maz Kanata from Star Wars was based on her. The book’s success later inspired a short-lived anthology television drama series of the same name that ran from December 1977 to July 1978 on NBC.

In 1989, 20/20 aired a series about Palisades High School students. Howard Rosenberg of Los Angeles Times wrote that “Palisades High School is characterized here as a high-achieving institution with high levels of drug and alcohol use. Today 20/20 do not ask how both are possible in the same school. ”

Around 1992 there were so few students that LAUSD considered closing the school. Pali Hai’s parents, Principal Merle Price, and Pali Hai staff decided to advocate for the school to become a charter school. In 1993, the school, along with three elementary schools, received approval from the Los Angeles Board of Education to become a charter school. This was the first time that a group of schools in California had become a charter school. The school asked students to follow a code of conduct and introduced new academic programs. K 19In 1998 enrollment recovered, with 200 students previously attending private schools.

This school was the subject of a fake e-mail that started around 2002. The post falsely claimed that a satirical message to parents about student absenteeism and homework problems was actually on the school’s answering machine. The message was originally written in response to parents’ outrage that students who missed classes for more than ten days for 90-day semesters (not counting legal gaps such as sickness) could get a bad grade in this class. This has been reported on several websites including Snopes and BreakTheChain.org.

Campus

Campus is bounded by Temescal Canyon Road to the east, Sunset Boulevard to the north, El Medio Street to the west, and Temescal Academy (formerly known as Temescal Canyon’s first continuing education school and then Temescal High School) to the south. It is bisected by Bowdoin Street, which runs between the school’s football field and the school’s academic center. The football stadium, located just one mile from Will Rogers State Beach, is called Stadium by the Sea.

Many films have been filmed in Palisades. One of the first major films made at the Pali school was Carrie . Directors George Lucas and Brian De Palma held a joint audition of for Carrie and Lucas’ Star Wars (1977) at the Palisades campus. Other films filmed on location include The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974), Popular (1999), Crazy/Beautiful (2001), The Glass House (2001), Old School (2003), Freaky Friday (2003), Havoc (2005), and Project X (2012). The school also filmed Modern Family (2013), Teen Wolf (2011), Netflix series American Vandal (2017) , Dude (2017) .) and He’s All That (2021).

Pali School was also used for the book Sweet Valley High School Party Weekend .

On April 25, 2021, the video for Olivia Rodrigo’s “good 4 u” was filmed at Palisades, directed by Petra Collins. The song later debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

As of 2010, approximately 43% of students, 1,180 out of 2,742 students, were delivered to Palisades Charter High School with over 100 Los Angeles Zip Codes. In 1994, approximately 70% of students, 1,176 out of 1,680 students, were bus-sheltered from South Central and East Los Angeles.

Demographics

According to US News and World Report, 49% of Palisades Charter students are “Coloured”, with 32% of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as determined by students’ eligibility for the California Reduced Price Meal Program.

Curriculum

As of 1998, most of its classes are university preparatory in nature and it runs magnet programs in mathematics, science and technology. The school also has liberal arts and marine biology courses.

The school includes the New Media Academy, which has been one of three in LAUSD since 1998. Pali High uses its status as a charter school to make this program more visible. By that year, DreamWorks had funded it with $100,000. Place fees generated by Spelling Aaron’s school use for Malibu Shores were used, by 1998 to install a new computer lab.

Since 2002, Palisades High School has been offering surf lessons for physical education credit. It was founded around 1998 by Ray Millett, a marine biology teacher and surfer.

Palisades Charter High School is known for its excellent music program. His orchestra has won medals at the SCSBOA championships three years in a row: in 2013 he won silver, in 2014 he won gold in the 3A category and in 2015 he received bronze. The school also has a winter Drumline that competes in both SCPA and WGI, and is also a 2016 SCPA “A class” silver medalist.

Discrimination and lawsuits

Extensive hate graffiti was found on campus in 2016, including references to the Ku Klux Klan, Jews, African Americans, and LGBTQ people.

In June 2017, Palisades Charter High School received national media attention after a student blog featured an African-American woman wearing a noose around her neck.

For foreign students, there is an opportunity to enter the same classes and get an education on a par with American students, which makes it possible to master not only the curriculum, but also improve the level of English and make friends.

Education in America usually takes place under the American High School Diploma program. This program is aimed at preparing students for entering the university and includes the study of 6 main disciplines. This course is aimed not only at studying the academic program, but also at improving and developing the creative, sports, and personal qualities of students.

After 10th grade, students can enter the 11th grade of an American school. Recall that in the United States there are 12 classes, that is, after the 10th grade, students can enroll in the last two years of the educational program. Namely, during these two years, American students study the subjects of the chosen program – IB or AP.

Advanced Placement (AP) is a traditional two-year American university preparation program. After passing the exams, students receive a diploma of complete secondary education. This certificate is accepted in many countries of the world. The program is aimed at the comprehensive preparation of students for admission to a higher educational institution. A feature of this course is that students go through almost the university program of the first two semesters in their chosen profession.

Another option is the international two-year International Baccalaureate or IB Diploma program, recognized throughout the world. Note, however, that this program has become less widespread in the United States. This course is also aimed at improving the skills and abilities necessary for entering the university. The IB program has a more comprehensive approach to the study of selected disciplines.

Post-Grade 11 Education

International students who receive a high school diploma in their home country may apply to US universities. However, many universities may require students to pass an internal test to assess the academic knowledge of applicants, as well as the results of internationally recognized English language proficiency tests.

Another option is to go to a community college. After completing such a college, students receive a certificate of incomplete higher education, the so-called Associate Degree. This certificate makes it possible to go to work or continue education in the chosen specialty, going straight to the third year.
