Improve Your English Language Skills
The ICLS Intensive English Program (IEP) includes daily practice of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with a strong emphasis on conversation and pronunciation.
Our IEP extends beyond the classroom. Students can participate in weekly trips to local sites of interest, such as museums, monuments, national parks, and seasonal events, giving students a chance to make friends and practice their English.
Because ICLS is authorized under Federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students, students on student visas can maintain their F-1 status by enrolling in the IEP.
If you need housing during your studies, we can refer you to trusted housing companies that can help you find the perfect place to stay.
Improve your English language skills for work, school, or to communicate in everyday life!
