Why this program works

Learn it, use it, remember it

Progress comes from repetition done the right way. The Intensive English Program supports language growth through multiple exposures to English, frequent guided practice, and intentional vocabulary recycling. You build the skills to communicate with different accents and speaking styles, and you develop cultural fluency for social, travel, and business situations.

How you start

Placement first, then a smooth start

Your first step is a written and oral placement test, so you begin at the level that matches your current skills. After that, you attend orientation, receive your materials and schedule, and meet your class and teacher.
