English as a Second Language (ESL)

The Spring Street International School English as a Second language (ESL) program is structured to take advantage of our special skills, style and unique locale.

Our classes are small and focused on individualized instruction, as much as possible. Our teachers aim to understand individual learning styles and adapt to each students’ needs.

Our leadership staff and teachers have over 20 years experience in teaching in boarding and international schools and have implemented a practical ESL curriculum that engages students in and out of the classroom.

Our campus and locale have a relaxed atmosphere that encourages students and makes international students very comfortable, even though far from home. Our community is very safe and the student residence and town very close by, allowing convenience and flexibility for study times and extracurricular pursuits.

Students feel like their residence and school are more like a home than an institution.
