Founded by an International Student JUST LIKE YOU!

Approach International Student Center is more than just an English school – it’s your gateway to a transformative future!

Founded in 2005 by Michelle Fernandes, a visionary former international student who dreamed big, Approach was created with a clear mission: to empower international students to achieve their dreams in the United States. Here you’ll find more than English classes – you’ll discover a truly welcoming environment, support, and real opportunities. From the beginning, with a small and dedicated team, we’ve grown alongside our students, transforming lives and creating paths that once seemed impossible.

A Legacy of Achievements and Real Results

2008: We established partnerships with over 10 colleges, creating direct pathways to higher education.

2014: We earned the prestigious ACCET accreditation, enabling us to issue F1 visas and attract students from even more countries.

2018: Recognized by SEVIS as one of the Top 500 English Schools in the U.S, validating our commitment to excellence.
