The ASB English Language Center offers English classes on Saturday mornings during the school year. Classes consist of 2.5 hours of academic English instruction, plus 1 hour of an activity where English is integrated into the class (e.g. art, video editing, sports, etc.). See example schedule.

Students are assigned to classes according to age and English proficiency level. See levels. Students (ages 11+) may also sign up for one of our Cambridge Exam Preparation Courses.

CLASS GROUPING FOR INSTRUCTION

Students are assigned to their classes according to their age and level of English proficiency. We administer a language level test on the first day of classes for students ages 7 and older to evaluate efficiently and effectively the level of students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency in English. Students 6 years and younger are generally placed into classes by age, except in special circumstances in which a significant difference exists between the language level of the child and his/her peers.
