“I created this school to educate people from all walks of life, the rich and the poor. I am dedicated to providing the best education for the lowest price, with the intention of making it feasible for every person to learn the English language as the first step in surviving in the United States, and going forward in their career development. Therefore, here at Main Street Schoolhouse Language Institute, students will experience a warm, friendly school that is processing and following national accreditation standards, all at an incredibly low price.”
