English Language Requirement

Course placement, subject choice and class year level is conditional on English language proficiency.

While the student may indicate the level at which they wish to study, the College reserves the right to place the student at the Level deemed appropriate to the students’ English proficiency. Please Note Ellesmere College does not offer a course in Beginner’s English.

The International Student Application form requests the applicant to send full details of English competency.

All International Students will be enrolled from Years 9-12 unless they have previously studied in a Secondary School in an English speaking country.
