At ESC, we want you to succeed. We believe the fastest way to learn English is to speak and listen to English as much as possible. You can make friends more quickly at the school if you are speaking in English. For these reasons, we have an “English Only” contract at the school.

When you arrive at ESC, you will start your first day with a placement test. This is followed by a school orientation and oral interview to check the level of your spoken English.

ESC assesses your level based on a standardized English level test (testing your skills in listening, grammar, vocabulary and reading) along with a speaking test. Students are evaluated weekly and monthly on their performance in class.

The minimum age is 16 years old.
Note: ESC also offers a Junior Program and Kids Program in the summer (June to August). The minimum age for our Junior Program and Kids Program is 14 years old and 9 years old respectively.
