CLASS SCHEDULES
      

Spring has a flexible schedule that works for you...

                       
9-week Term We have five 9-week terms each year for full-time Intensive English students in levels 1 through 6.
                      
Half-term We have "Half-term", a 5-week term for those with busy schedules. 
    
NOTE:  We encourage half-term students to enter at the beginning of the term and stay through the fifth week. But, if your schedule doesn’t allow that, you can start during the fifth week and complete the term. If you start during week 5, you will be entering existing classes. Students who are planning to complete the language program and enter a college or university program in the US are advised to begin their program at the start of a full 9-week term.  Please contact the school's director if you wish to start during week 5 of a term.
                      
Special Programs We offer "Vacation English", "English & Ski/Snowboard", "Intercession Term" (at Arkansas), Executive English, and other custom programs to fit your individual or group needs.
                       
                       
Typical Weekly Schedule
                       
Your day's schedule would include Reading, Writing, Grammar, Listening/Speaking, and a choice of 4½-week and 9-week modules that offer a variety of skills and special interests, such as Conversation Partners, Accent Improvement, Computer Skills, TOEFL Preparation, Business English, GMAT, Pronunciation, and so on.

A typical school day begins at 9 a.m. with three 50-minute classes in reading, writing, and grammar occupying the morning hours (this varies by center).  A one-hour lunch break is followed by two one-hour Listening/Speaking and special-interest modules, with the school day ending around 3:00 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and noon on Friday.
