Intensive English Program (IEP)

The SOLEX College Intensive English Program (IEP) offers students an extraordinary opportunity to learn English in an immersive environment.  Our program is offered at all three SOLEX locations and provides a wide range of class times to seamlessly integrate into your schedule. Our courses are 100% instructor led and feature small class sizes to allow maximum student-teacher interaction.

IEP is divided into six levels of English proficiency. Whether you are just beginning to learn English or want to build on your foundation, you will find the right class offering to meet your needs. With our unique location, your study of English will go beyond the classroom.  The surrounding Chicago area provides students with an exceptional opportunity to fully immerse themselves in English. Chicago provides a vibrant and exciting background with world renowned art, culture and entertainment venues that will enrich your study of the English language.

SOLEX offers courses on a rolling schedule, starting once a month across our locations. The Intensive English Program runs for 18 hours/week with classes available for morning, afternoon, and evening schedules.  You will receive an ESL (English as a Second Language) Certificate upon completion (3 levels required).  Please review the English proficiency best suited to your needs and enroll today!
