It consists of 4 hours of instruction a day, from Monday through Thursday, for a total of 16 hours a week. Classes are typically held from 9:00 am to 12:50 pm, but may also be held from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm depending on student enrollment.

Students are placed in one of 6 English levels – each level taking 12 weeks to complete – after an oral and/or written placement test conducted prior to the start of their course. Students must register for a minimum of one week and may start their course on any Monday.

Intensive classes are taught by the same teacher every day, which allows them to get to know their students well and help them with their individual language needs. Students in this course must be at least 16 years of age.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. The school is also not authorized to issue an I-20 to support an F-1 student visa application. If you need a visa, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Honolulu based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
