It is our belief that the business decisions of the school should be based primarily on educational rather than business principles, that the school should be student-centered, and that the classes should be taught entirely in the target language. These beliefs form the basis of our guiding philosophy.

1. to provide a quality English language program to the international community at an affordable price;
2. to limit classes to small groups of no more than 10 students in order to give students the speaking opportunities they need for adequate practice and to allow them the individual attention and feedback they need from the instructor;
3. to maintain professional standards of our staff by requiring a minimum of a Master's degree in a related field of all instructors;
4. to listen to our students and to the businesses in the community and to give them the types of classes they express a need and/or a desire for;
5. to listen to our instructors and allow them to participate in the decisions of the school;
6. to provide a friendly and helpful atmosphere for students and teachers;
7. to provide a flexible and convenient schedule for students including, day and evening classes.

OUR INSTRUCTORS are native English speakers with advanced degrees and training in the field of English as a Second Language. They are experienced in working with international students from all over the world and they take a genuine interest in the progress and degree of satisfaction of all students.

OUR STUDENTS are from all over the world. A typical enrollment of 50 includes students from 15 to 25 different countries, making our classes and outside activities both interesting and fun. Because our classes are so small, students have an opportunity to get to know each other and lots of good friendships are formed here.

ESL Instruction does not provide dormitories for students, but, as we are in the middle of a large and vibrant city, students have a wide range of housing options. Homestays, Extended-Stay Hotels, and apartments are all available. On request, we will be happy to assist with housing arrangements and make reservations for you.

Once each term, we take a day off from studies to do something fun together in a group. Here are a few of the places that we have gone on typical field trips.In the spirit of autumn, students and teachers spent a day at Kennesaw park playing football (yes, American football), eating fried chicken, and hiking through the colorful leaves.

We journeyed to a local peach farm to pick Georgia's most famous fruit right off the tree. Then, at a nearby state park, we rented canoes and explored a peaceful lake. Lake Lanier offered us a cool shady place for this summertime barbeque. After eating, we played volleyball, soccer, and splashed around in the refreshing water.

Our instructors enjoy introducing students to the local culture, so teachers frequently organize activities.One instructor organized a group of 25 students to take a day-trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee to see the Aquarium and riverfront. Another instructor led a group of about 30 students and teachers whitewater rafting in the Ocoee river in Tennessee.

In addition, instructors generally lead hikes in the nearby mountains once or twice per term. We also plan in-town trips. For example, recently we have gone to Oglethorpe University's museum, a Tibetan dance performance, Stone Mountain's annual Halloween Ghost Storytelling event, and Six Flags, just to name a few.
