ONLINE ESL via internet:  Join the class from wherever you are in the world!

The cost of the online ESL course is $1,000 USD (+ books approximately $100) for a 3-month course, 20 hours per week.  Fees are due before the first day of class, and there is a non-refundable application fee of $40 USD due with your application.

Instruction takes place in classroom settings, group activities, individual conversations, real life situations, and tutoring.  There are 5 levels of language instruction which allow each student to be appropriately challenged and learn!  There are also weekly field trips (e.g. Harrisburg, Hershey Chocolate World, Philadelphia, Washington DC), getting involved in the community and volunteer opportunities. Students from various nations, instructors and other native English speakers live together in a community setting, so students get practice in understanding different accents and using English in everyday life.

Curriculum will be through academic ESL textbooks and supplemental materials from other resources.  All levels, even beginner, are accepted. YWAM is a Christian missionary organization and we teach from a Biblical worldview.  Training includes some Biblical and YWAM resources, and our days begin with worship and prayer, which give you an opportunity to grow in your relationship with God and others.

Grades will be given and passing students will receive an ESL certificate from the University of the Nations.

The YWAM tradition of “community living” plays an important part in bringing the base together.  We recognize that relationships – with God and people – are very important, and each day begins with worship and/or intercession together as a group.  We live together, eat together, work together, share our lives, living spaces, and work duties for the benefit of the community. This allows each individual to grow in very practical ways as he or she walks out what it means to love and lay down their lives for others.  (It also helps to keep costs down!)  Room and board are included in your ESL training fees.

Note: Please plan to arrive the day before class begins and leave the day after class ends.  We are sorry we cannot accommodate early arrivals.
