Intensive English Program

One of the goals at Prep is to give students the opportunity to proceed through the Intensive English Program at the appropriate pace, transition from level to level smoothly, and experience American Culture. At Prep we take great care in placing our students in the proper level of our Intensive English Program. Upon arrival all new students are tested using the Secondary Level Assessment Test of English (SLATE). Based on the student’s SLATE score they will be placed in Level I, II, or III. Level I is for the student with minimal English skills, Level II is for the intermediate student, and Level III is for the student who has advanced skills and is almost ready to be in mainstream English classes. Prep provides many opportunities for students to practice and improve their English language skills through our activities, teams, clubs, fine arts programs, weekend trips etc. We provide the opportunity and strongly encourage students to read in English, watch movies in English, and speak in English.Hilton Head Prep offers ESL support during the school day for international students.
