English Language Enhancement Program

The English Language Enhancement Program (ELEP) is designed for international students of different cultural backgrounds. The ELEP helps students who are English Language Learners improve their English and strengthen their language skills. ELEP students have successfully graduated with an HSArts High School Diploma.

Our intensive curriculum is literature-based and helps students develop practical skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary development.  Students should be prepared to work hard in our ELEP courses!

During the Spring and Fall semesters, the curriculum is divided into three distinct courses, each focusing on specific academic skills and topics. We also offer an Intensive English Learning Summer Program for international students who wish to enroll in an American school for the Fall semester.
