Our Approach
MELSEC US is committed to the advancing of foreign language proficiency and cross-cultural competency. Our mission is to make increasing contact between cultures a daily reality for students and educators of different countries, expanding multi-cultural and global awareness, thus providing students with communicative skills essential to function effectively as global citizens.
Our Story
MELSEC US (former ALEMA) was started in 1991 as a Linguistic Center in Moscow, Russia. In 1995 we launched a new project for students - learning foreign languages while traveling around the world. This program encouraged our students to learn about cultures and countries, make international friends, and grow more towards being world peace loving citizens.
MELSEC US is located in Southern California, United States. We invite school-children, young people and adults to learn English and other languages in multinational California and travel with us.

"It’s my first visit to USA. I was in Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, San Diego and other interesting places. Each of them was completely different. Most of all I liked Hollywood, Queen Mary & Universal Studios. There were lots of fabulous moments in each point. Ocean was amazing! Unfortunately, I couldn't swim in it, because water was very cold. All in all, journey was so good! Thanks a lot!"
