English is not an easy language to learn, but set in the right atmosphere and with the right educators, the task becomes much easier as well as pleasant. This is why we feel that in our course of study our students will come away with much more than the ability to speak English: they will open the door to a wide world of opportunities and potential success.

The principal components of the CES curriculum include conversation, discussion of current events, listening, grammar, reading, vocabulary and writing skills. The standard length of our terms is 16 weeks, with sessions usually beginning in January, May and the end of August.

Through individualized testing, placement, advising and challenging instruction, CES staffs work in harmony with students to improve language skills and communication abilities.

Classes at CES have been designed to assist students to pass the TOEFL exam and to succeed in the American college and university setting. Instructional materials and methods have been designed to create a smooth transition from the pre college setting of CES into the college classroom.

Our classes are taught by highly qualified Palomar college faculty members. All instructors are native English speakers with extensive experience teaching English as a Second Language.
