Outstanding Academic Programs

The Immersion MethodAt FLS, you will meet students from all over the world and develop your new language skills together. Students begin improving their English from their first day of the program. Instruction is supplemented by role-playing, pair-work, group discussion and pronunciation exercises. Because our curriculum emphasizes oral English, you will quickly find your confidence and comprehension increasing!

Small Class SizesOur class sizes are small to increase individual attention and student-teacher interaction. The maximum class size is 15, with most classes averaging 12 students or fewer. This enables your teacher to monitor your English progress closely throughout the term.

Helpful Academic WorkshopsOur daily workshops provide concentrated, self-contained lessons on specific aspects of English, such as pronunciation, vocabulary development, and conversation, and allow students to develop their ability through songs or discussions of current affairs. Unlike the ‘ language labs’ offered at some schools, our workshops are all teacher-led by qualified instructors.

Varied Elective ClassesFLS offers a wide range of elective classes which focus on specific English skills or topics. Each elective class includes 6 lessons per week and use of the textbook. Every eight weeks, you’ll be able to take a new elective and explore new areas of knowledge. FLS continues to introduce innovative new electives, such as English Through Film and Introduction to Literature to challenge and engage students.

Academic Track Programs and Counseling ServicesYour FLS counselor will help you stay on track for college entrance by meeting with you to plan your progress through our levels, select the most appropriate electives, take advantage of the academic environment and prepare your application materials in time.
