Starting in April 2026, our school offers regular classes beginning on the first day after admission. In addition to weekend admission, weekday admission (Monday through Friday) is now available.
If it is difficult for you to arrive on weekends due to your schedule, you may now enroll on any day that is convenient for you.
Regular classes are conducted six days per week. For example, if you arrive on Wednesday evening and begin classes on Thursday, your end date will be after the conclusion of Wednesday’s classes.
If you arrive on Saturday evening or Sunday and begin classes on Monday, your end date will be Saturday at 1:00 PM.
Our school requires a minimum registration period of one week, and you can register on a weekly basis. Airport pickup is available from Saturday evening to Sunday, and classes begin on Monday. However, our SPEAK-UP course does not have a fixed start date, so you can choose any weekday to begin based on your schedule.
Yes, you can. Depending on your needs, you may choose one-on-one classes of 1, 2, or 3 hours, or join regular classes. For pricing information, please inquire at the office.

English Prescription and Doctor’s Note (if applicable):
If you will be taking medication for more than 30 days while abroad, please bring a doctor’s note written in English. If you have kidney, heart, or neurological conditions—even if the symptoms are mild—please also bring an English doctor’s note as a precaution. If necessary, you can purchase medication in the Philippines.

Important Reminders When Packing Your Luggage Before Departure
Do not pack prohibited items such as spare (lithium) batteries, e-cigarettes, lighters, flammable substances (sprays, alcohol, paint), or cash in your checked-in baggage. These items must be packed in your carry-on baggage.
Some airlines enforce this rule strictly, and violations may result in flight cancellation without a refund.
Please check the following items to ensure a fulfilling academic experience. Be sure to also review the Pre-departure Checklist.
Most short-term study abroad programs take time out of your vacation or personal schedule, so it is important to make sure the program offers enough classes during that time.
To make the most of your short stay, focus on one-on-one classes instead of group classes, which may require schedule changes. If possible, try to take six or seven one-on-one classes each day.
Do not try to learn everything in a short period. Focus on speaking and expressing yourself. You can ask your counselor for advice during your admission consultation.
The pre-admission test, called the Admission Interview, is administered before arrival at the school. This test is for students who have applied for courses requiring a certain level of English proficiency, such as IELTS or business courses, or for short-term students who wish to begin classes immediately on Monday morning.
The Admission Interview is conducted online within 48 hours of application. It evaluates pronunciation, expression, syntax, spoken grammar, and vocabulary. The test takes approximately 20 minutes, and results are available within 24 hours.
Note: Starting in the second half of 2026, the school plans to implement the Admission Interview for all courses. This will allow students to begin regular classes on Monday morning after arrival.
Our school guarantees 19 days of classes per month. If a national holiday prevents classes from being held on the 19th day, regular classes will be conducted on the holiday itself or on a Saturday.
December is an exception, as the number of holidays can vary each year. In December, make-up classes are offered as group classes on public holidays.
Note: “19-day class guarantee" means that we provide at least 19 days of regular classes from the 1st to the last day of each month.
