IIE Hawaii Announces 2012 Programs, Calendar, Fees

IIE Hawaii News | October 7, 2011Aloha students, friends and partners of the Institute of Intensive English of Hawaii!
I hope you all had a wonderful summer. Thanks to you, this summer has been the best ever for IIE Hawaii: we reached record enrollments in both our adult and junior programs!
With excellence as our constant goal, we have some very exciting announcements for 2012.

"lessons" not "hours" in 2012! In response to trends in the global ESL industry, we are converting our program times from “hours” to “lessons.” Each lesson will be the equivalent of 45 minutes. In addition to this change, the morning programs will begin at 8:50am and end at 1:05pm, which increases the total daily lesson time 15 minutes. Class schedules will remain the same except for minor time adjustments.

new afternoon program for beginners Aside from the above, our programs will remain unchanged, except the addition of a new afternoon General English program for Beginners called Part-Time English Program (PEP). This program features a curriculum based on our popular morning General English STEP program. However, one important difference is that our Best Nationality Mix Policy is applied only to our regular morning programs. Therefore, there is no 50 percent limit on student nationalities for this afternoon program. In addition, this program will not be available in July and August.
The Part-Time English Program program begins in 2012 from Term 2, Feb. 21.

long stay program policy changesThe other change related to programs is our policy with regard to our Long Stay Program. Students must start their program at the beginning of the session, and the last day of the academic year (and I-20) will be the last day of student’s fourth session, unless the student enrolls for another year. In addition, students may not begin their program in the March session.

school closed christmas week from 2012Starting in 2012, IIE will be closing Christmas week. This means in that 2012, the school will be closed the week of Dec. 24-28, the only week that the school is closed all year. This week will not be counted as a paid week of a student’s program.

new student accommodation in waikikiIn accommodation, we are happy to introduce an additional affordable option in Waikiki: IIE Student Shared Condos. An individual bed per student will be available in a fully-furnished studio condo shared by two students. A strict cancellation policy applies.
