Outstanding Academic Programs The Immersion Method At 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 Sizes Our 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 Workshops Our 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 Classes FLS 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 Services Your 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.

Most of these programs are extremely competitive and have very selective admission policies making it difficult for students to gain acceptance. If your grades or English ability are not currently at the level where you have a viable chance to attend your dream school, our pathway programs offer the perfect solution. The pathway programs offered through UPP at our select partner schools allow you to enter an academic program without TOEFL or other English requirements, complete 2 years of academic work and then transfer to some of the best schools in the United States.
