History

Established in 1990.

At Columbia West College, you’ll not only get very practical and dynamic English instruction, you’ll also get all the support and resources you’ll need to make your dreams a reality. That’s because Columbia West College is a special place. Our founder, Dr. Samuel Lee, was an international student in the United States who went through many struggles and hardships to achieve his goals. Out of his experiences, Dr. Lee created an ESL (English as a Second Language) school that understands international students and equips them with the English language education and resources they need to realize their potential.
