Our Seattle-Tacoma school is situated on the leafy green campus of Pacific Lutheran University; the Embassy school is well placed in the centre of the campus, in one of the most attractive buildings on site. Find out more about the school's location on our Seattle-Tacoma local information page.

On-campus, you'll find a typical American university environment. Here, students rush between classes.

Here are some Embassy students in class. This is an unusual scene, as it happens: Embassy lessons will much more often see students working in groups and pairs, or sitting in a horseshoe shape so that everyone can join in a class discussion.

Walking between buildings on the PLU campus. The Seattle-Tacoma climate makes for a very green environment. Find out more about what weather you can expect during your visit, on our Seattle-Tacoma local information page.

Making friends is an essential part of the Embassy experience: it's chatting and laughing that helps you use, and retain, the English you learn in class.

Students have fun in Seattle's famous International Fountain - how appropriate! The fountain is famous for the high shoots of water it sends into the sky, and occasional events where the water is synchronised to music.

Embassy students volunteered with St. Leo's Hospitality Services in downtown Tacoma. This service for the homeless and poor provides breakfast and lunch free of charge five days a week. Nobody is turned away. It is a great program for people who are unable to afford food.

The Embassy students worked in the kitchen where they helped prepare a well balanced meal. They also served food to participants and helped clean up the facility at the end of their shift. 

Student Chenyu Xu commented that working in the soup kitchen made him feel sad for the people in his home country of China. They have similar services in China too. All the students now understand and appreciate how the efforts of a social services organisation can make a difference in so many lives.
