Message from the President

The goal of LCIC is to promote international understanding through language and cultural experience. Located in the historic island of Mactan, Cebu, our campus will allow you to live with the community and enjoy the sights, traditions, and marine environment. Our language programs are designed to facilitate the attainment and learning in the five skills of languages – reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural adaptation. The ESL program of our school gives the students the ability to understand and speak the English language and experience Cebu with its gentle and mild-mannered people. In LCIC, students learn to become who they want to be and express themselves in their native, second, and foreign languages. We hope to welcome you to our campus someday and tour you around as you learn to speak and listen in our second language – English.

Vanessa Madelo, Head of foreign languages faculty: – an alumna from the University of San Carlos
– PhD in English major in Languages, University of San Jose
– 16 years faculty at the University of Cebu
