Classes focus on the language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Classroom instruction is scheduled 18-20 hours per week, starting at an intermediate level. Class sizes are small, usually with no more than 10 students. Experienced, professional teachers give individual attention. With the recommendation of the ESL Director and an acceptable English language proficiency test score, students may seek admission to Clarke's regular academic program.
Many students travel in the U.S. during holidays and vacation periods.
If you choose to travel, it would be at your own expense. This does not include meals. Test must be taken within 6 months of application. When all documents are received, Clarke will issue an I-20 form to the applicant. They share a room with one other student and are encouraged to join in campus life.
