This month we welcome 20 new students from Brazil, Turkey, Japan, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Thanks to the growing number of students at our school, we decided to split the class schedule to morning and afternoon. There will be 2 groups coming in April; one from Thailand and the other from France. Our school will be a full house! It will be a wonderful chance for students to make friends from all over the world.
Please meet Andrew Rowland, our new instructor.
“My name is Andrew Rowland. I’m an English teacher from Alta Loma, California. I like to travel, meet new people, and experience different cultures. I also like to surf. After graduating from university, I taught English in Vietnam for nearly two years. Working at GEOS-Costa Mesa is a great opportunity for me because I love working with students from all over the world”
Let’s go for 5th Annual Easter Festival & Treasure Hunt! Grab your Easter basket for a free treasure hunt 10 am to 2pm for candy and tops at the Orange County Market Place. You may find a golden ticket for a special prize!

Hi! I’m Mikoto and I am from Japan. I studied at GEOS Costa Mesa for 6 weeks. I liked GEOS very much because it is very friendly and it was easy to make friends from other countries. I practiced my English a lot by talking to my friends. Another thing I liked about GEOS is that there were activities planned every week. I visited many places like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Safari Park and many more. California has many famous and exciting places to visit and I am sure that anyone can every staying here.

-Los Angeles-Hollywood full day trip: On March 5th, one of GEOS’ staff member and several students visited the capital of film making industry---Hollywood. The weather was great and the students met some of the street performers impersonating Michael Jackson; Johnny Depp dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow and many more. They also went up to Beverly Hills where they could see many celebrity large homes, then headed to Santa Monica and Griffith Park.
One day trip was enough to see most of the excitement of Los Angeles.
