Academic Year Program
San Diego
Gaslamp
Achieve a high level of English, interact with international and American students, and experience life as an American college student! With CISL’s Pre-University Academic Year, students first enroll in CISL English courses and interact with the school's diverse student population. Students also attend CISL’s TOEFL preparation classes and gain the English skills necessary to succeed in the rigorous academic environment of an American college. After successful completion of CISL classes, students transfer to a San Diego community college and attend courses with American students for one semester.
The Academic Year Program (AYP) gives students the opportunity to improve their general and academic English skills at CISL and then attend a semester at a college in California. It is popular with recent high school graduates taking a gap year and students who want to attend an American university.
Ambitious students who want to experience American college life can appreciate the adventure of studying in a college in a new country with the support of CISL along the way. CISL helps students to prepare for their semester academically, personally, and linguistically. Before the college semester, students have already made friends at CISL, honed their general and academic English skills, and received guidance and advice from the CISL staff so that they can enjoy their college experience without stress.
Students in the CISL Academic Year Program must take at least 16 weeks at CISL and enroll in one semester at a participating college. The specific CISL course plan depends on each student’s language proficiency and goals, but most students take a combination of the following courses:
Morning Courses (Monday‐Friday, 9:00 ‐12:40): Standard (12+ weeks) and TOEFL Preparation (4 weeks)
Afternoon Elective Courses (Monday‐Thursday, 13:30 ‐ 15:10)
- Conversational English Course (4 weeks)
- English for Academic Purposes (EAP) (12 weeks)
