Program InformationThe International Academy of English (IAE) is an intensive English program that offers five levels of instruction and a TOEFL Preparation course. Each level is taught throughout an 18-week term which is subdivided into two 9-week sessions (Sessions A and B). Completion of all five levels takes 22.5 (4-week) months. If students fail, they can go through the term in the same level one more time provided they are making academic progress. The main objective of the Intensive English Program is to help students read, write, listen and speak in increasing levels of proficiency so that they can fulfill their academic and professional goals. Some of our students have the objective of being admitted to undergraduate or graduate courses in public colleges or universities. Students also want to learn English for professional reasons, such as getting a job or being promoted. Our primary instructional approach is skill-based as we place students according to their skill level in which we offer specific classes to help students enhance their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Our methodological approach is communicative since students learn the target language through interaction with their peers, teachers, and the outside community.

As for our TOEFL program, the main objective of the course is to prepare students to be successful in the TOEFL test and to be admitted to the college or university program they apply to. The TOEFL Preparation course is also offered throughout an 18-week term and students can choose to repeat the TOEFL Preparation course if they have not attained their goal on the TOEFL exam by the end of the class.Students who end their studies without completing the entire program must have a minimum of 80% attendance and take the school exit exam in order to receive IAE’s Certificate of Participation.

Tuition RefundsAny prepaid tuition will be refunded if a student’s visa is denied. In order to receive this refund, evidence of visa denial must be submitted to the school.

Example of Refund policiesA student enrolls in an 8 week course and pays $700 tuition. The student withdraws after completing 3 weeks of the course and presents evidence for the cancellation. The refund would be calculated as follows:

$700 - ($87.50 X 4) = $350 (8 weeks of tuition) (prorated weekly) (4-weeks minimum) (amount of refund)

Medical and Baggage InsuranceAll students studying in the USA are recommended to have accident and health insurance. IAE has negotiated favorable premiums for IAE students with an insurance company. The cost of coverage varies depending on the length of stay in the USA. Insurance information can be obtained from the IAE website (www.sdiae.edu).

Late Arrival and Absences If a student misses class due to an absence or violation of IAE’s late policy, no refund for this missed class time will be provided. Periods of absence or tardiness may not be compensated with free extension of the course.

Liability IAE is not liable in any way to the student in the event that any service to be supplied by IAE becomes impossible to supply by reason outside of the control of IAE, nor will IAE be liable for loss, damage, or injury to persons or property howsoever caused.

The International Academy of English (IAE) adheres to a strict attendance policy for all students enrolled and admitted to the United States to study on an F-1 visa. Students studying on F1 visa are expected to attend 100% of their scheduled classes, 18 hours per week. Failure to maintain 80% attendance will result in termination of student status by the DSO.
