Welcome

Madison, Wisconsin is a safe, quiet city located in the mid-west region of the United States.

At MESLS you can:

• Improve English conversation skills
• Improve English for academic and professional uses
• Go on to graduate or undergraduate study in the U.S.
• Learn English in class, in the computer lab, in the student lounge, and with American conversation partners

Our curriculum is based on three integrated language competency areas: Speaking & Grammar, Reading & Writing and Speaking & Listening, with the recognition that language acquisition is a holistic process; consequently, classroom instruction is wider than the textbook. Language learning at MESLS occurs in many places: in the lunchroom with the teachers and students in informal situations; in the computer lab; on school outings while exploring new sites and participating in important events; while meeting with conversation partners and tutors from the larger Madison community; and, in the school offices and hallways where teachers and other staff are always available to help with homework, personal problems, housing and travel concerns, and academic referral to other institutions of higher education.

MESLS is authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to issue I-20s.

MESLS is fully accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI)
