Middle/High School Level

Seven courses (A1, A1+, A2, A2+, B1, B1+, and B2), each lasting 18 weeks, prepare students for academic English. Students enter the program at their instructional level and can continue until they reach university-ready proficiency.

Learn from U.S. Teachers

Our ELL courses are taught by qualified, native English-speaking teachers who are specialists in teaching English to international students. They are trained in the best online teaching methods and work directly with schools and students anywhere in the world.

Self-Paced and Interactive Study

Students work at their own pace using our interactive learning software and practice what they learn through application exercises. Live Sessions are required in grades K–3 and available as a course option in grades 4–12.

Live Sessions Build Language Skills

Group sessions are led by native-speaking, U.S.-based teachers who help students strengthen their skills.

Grades K–3: Required live sessions provide students with numerous opportunities to build basic communication skills with the teacher and their classmates.
Grades 4–12: Optional live sessions incorporate a library of 100+ award-winning, contemporary videos. Students learn relevant English through authentic content and discussions with their peers.
