The School offers three course programs to choose from:
- Intensive Group program
Our Group program is ideal for students of all levels of English, and groups are formed according to level. The IG program consists of 25 hours of teacher-based classroom instruction per week and it allows students to study English at a more relaxed pace than our Super Intensive program.
In addition to the School’s core curriculum program, which emphasizes conversation and listening skills, students will be able to select from among a variety of elective courses and customize their program.
- Intensive Group - Private Tuition
With the exception of private immersion courses, this is the fastest course we offer. The IGP consists of Intensive Group instruction in the morning and customized, private instruction in the afternoon. In addition, afternoon private classes give students both a customized curriculum and the individual attention they need.
- Private Immersion
Originally designed for executives with little time to learn a language, our Private Immersion program is among the fastest, most intensive English programs in the world. Students can expect to advance 1-2 levels per month!
This course is 100% tailor-designed for each student. Our ESL Director designs curriculum and coordinates a team of instructors who are rotated throughout the day. This fast-paced course includes lunch with an instructor - in English of course!

Methodology
With our Method, you will learn to speak English. We use an exclusive series of video laserdiscs and DVDs combined with dynamic classroom instruction and interaction. The goal of our methodology is to make you comfortable using English in any situation you may encounter in everyday life, such as: travel, social and business introductions and meetings, using the telephone, effectively participating in a conversation, etc.
The vocabulary presented in our video laserdiscs, CD-ROMs, texts and cassettes has been studied and programmed to be introduced gradually and systematically. This process helps you communicate easily and effectively. Outstanding teachers, combined with the aforementioned techniques, will provide you with the ability and confidence you need to face the world in English.
Some of the Basic Pronciples of our Methodology:
- No translation in class
The School’s direct approach means that the student and the teacher only speak English. There is never any translation in the classroom and this forces you to think in English. You will be surprised at how easily you will learn.
- Teacher Rotation
The people you speak with in the real world all have different voices, pronunciations, vocabulary and speeds with which they speak. Therefore, it is important that you do not become accustomed to just one teacher in the classroom. Rotating teachers allows you to be exposed to many types of speakers and ensures that you will understand all people who speak English. Teacher rotation also keeps class fresh and interesting.
- Emphasis on communication
Our methodology focuses on speaking and listening. Grammar is very important and we teach it through our very communicative approach without being tedious, boring and repetitive. You will speak, rather than analyze the language. The key to learning a new language is communication. Because communication includes reading and writing, they are included throughout our programs.
- Special materials
The School’s specialty is carefully designed individual English courses for adults. The Director and ESL Director will work individually with you to carefully select a curriculum that meets your special needs. Your background in English, your goals in learning, as well as your job-related English needs are all taken into consideration when deciding on curriculum to be used in your course of study.
