After your child finishes the last class of ELA Standard, your child will then be assigned a screening class for ELA Advanced.

If you have some experience with English, or if you have lived in English speaking country, we recommend being screened for ELA Advanced.

Your child's level is determined by an accumulation of information gathered: the details of your child's past English experience and knowledge helps to determine some of the foundational skills and help us determine the screening level in which your child can take their screening test. Then when your child takes the screening test, we are able to establish where in our curriculum and courses that your child can begin to take classes.
