INTENSIVE ESL PROGRAM FULL TIME
START DATE: MONTHLY | DURATION: 4-48 WEEKS

Program description
This program is based on monthly courses that allow students to rapidly improve their English skills. It
covers all four aspects of the English language: speaking, listening, reading and writing, with a particular
focus on grammar. The student will begin the course at the most suitable level for their ability, and advance
one level every consecutive month. We recommend that students take 4–6 months to achieve significant
improvement; and for those students with a minimum knowledge of the English language we recommend
8–12 months of studies.

Admission requirements
There is no minimum English level required for admission to the ESL program. Before starting classes, all
students must take the Cornerstone English Placement test to determine the student’s current level
of English.

Our programs are committed to helping students improve

their communication skills and knowledge of the English
language through a dynamic, fun classroom environment
that explores a broad range of relevant, local and timely
topics. Cornerstone provides English courses that are
approachable, professional and tailored to the specific
needs of the students.
