Location: The school resides in the neighbourhood of Hollywood in Los Angeles. Kings is located on a side street off Sunset Boulevard, which is a long stretch of road running through both Hollywood and Beverly Hills, all the way to the coast. This area is famous for its connection to the film industry. There are plenty of things to see in the area that reflect this including the Dolby Theatre which hosts the Oscars, Paramount Pictures and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kings is in a good position to visit all that Hollywood has to offer. The streets around the school have a selection of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and other places to entertain students throughout their stay.

Getting around: There are two subway stations close to the school; Hollywood/Highland and Hollywood/Vine. Both these stations have the Red Line running through them, which reaches the centre of Los Angeles. These stations are around 15 minutes from King's school building. Buses are another popular mode of transportation in the area, and there are many stops close by to the school. It is possible to use these different transportation options to visit the major attractions of Los Angeles including Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Santa Monica Pier.

Course structure: The school has a number of English courses for its students including general English classes, exam preparation lessons for the Cambridge Exams as well as TOEFL, a diploma programme and an English course for those specifically over the age of 25.

Vacation course: Kings in Los Angeles has created the vacation structure which is possible in most of its course formats. Due to the structure of these options, they are aligned with the visa waiver opinion.

School chain: Kings is a number of well established English language schools in the UK and USA. They understand that learning English is a journey, and there are different needs for the language as this progresses. As a result of this, each school provides a range of courses to cater for these requirements ranging from exam courses, academic programmes, diplomas and courses for specific fields of study such as business.

Kings has partnered with academic establishments worldwide to help students to transition into furthering their education at a university in either the UK or the USA.
