According to assessed need, international students begin with a full English Language Learner program and advance to an intermediate program with content courses in basic English before moving into mainstream coursework.

International students experience school in a carefully planned transitional program. They are integrated into the school in three phases:

This program prepares non-English speaking students to participate in the regular school. Students practice English vocabulary skills in grammar, reading, writing, and mathematics by working with text books, workbooks, computer games, sports and activities. During the summer, trips to historic and popular tourist sites are part of the program.

Students follow the school schedule, taking classes such as math, physical education, the arts, and activities. They also participate in a special curriculum, which includes ESL science, ESL history, ESL math, ESL literature. Classes focus on academic content of core subjects using basic English. Though this intermediate program, students will earn the necessary credits to be fully mainstreamed into the regular school curriculum.

International students will be helped to polish reading and writing skills and to complete all requirements to graduate from the Academy and apply to colleges.
