What does the phrase ‘Orange Carpet Experience’ mean?

The phrase keys off the idea of rolling out a red carpet, referencing the special treatment celebrities receive—but with a unique EC twist that employs our logo color. Although we do physically roll out an orange carpet at every school, each Monday morning, the significance of the OCE goes far beyond that. It signals our commitment to making sure you get everything you need to achieve your language goals, while having the experience of a lifetime.
