ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE
Valley Forge's English Language Institute (ELI) allows international
students to get an important jump-start on the academic program. Through
ELI, students gain confidence in their language skills and receive significant
exposure to American culture. The ELI has worked with students from more than 45 different
countries since it was founded in 1973.
 ELI courses emphasize oral language training, including speaking and
listening comprehension. Practice in reading, writing and grammar at all
levels is also provided. Within ELI, you will be learning about character development and
leadership - two of Valley Forge's cornerstones. As an ELI student, you will also
learn about cadet life, which can help you make a successful transition from the
program to Valley Forge's Corps of Cadets.
The English Language Institute offers courses in basic to advanced levels of English
language proficiency. As a student in the Institute, you are immersed in English language
study for approximately 20 hours each week, Monday through Friday. In addition, you may
participate in athletics, supervised study halls, and other opportunities that help you
learn about being successful as a Valley Forge cadet.
