Thus far we have not had a predominance of any one language group and we hope this remains the same. We think the ideal class is 8 students from 8 different countries-even better, from 8 different language groups. Our best quarter thus far was an enrollment of 70 students from 29 different countries. Diversity makes our classes more interesting and decreases the temptation students often have to speak their native language. For most classes students need to take a placement test before registering.
Placement tests are free of charge.
After the director reviews the placement test and speaks with the student, a determination is made of which classes are appropriate. Students should plan on being at the school for approximately one hour for the test and interview. To save a place in a class, it is necessary to register. This is the student's commitment to take the class and the school's commitment to reserve a place in the class. The balance of the tuition is due before the class begins.
