About Everest College
The Portland English Language Academy is located inside the Everest College Building in downtown Portland, Oregon.
 The Portland campus of Everest College was established in 1955. A leader right from the start, we are proud to have been the first college in Oregon to offer data processing skills as well as hands-on classroom training with actual computer equipment.
