The Intensive ESL Program consists of 6 levels with each level lasting 2 months:

  • Beginner I
  • Beginner II
  • Intermediate I
  • Intermediate II
  • Advanced I
  • Advanced II

On the first day of school, students are given an assessment test and placed into the appropriate level of study. Each level is 2 months long, however if students are ready to move to the next level after only one month of study, they may do so with the permission of the teacher.

Evaluation: Students are evaluated and given a Progress Report at the end of each month. Upon completion of study, each student receives a Certificate of Completion.
