Intensive English Program (IEP)

The IEP is a full-time academic program designed for full-time Academy students who wish to spend 1 or 2 semesters improving their English before transitioning to an American middle- or high- school, or post-grad participants who wish to prepare for university English including TOEFL preparation.   Students take 4 hours of English per day either in the morning or the afternoon according to their sport schedule.  The IEP is recommended for ages 10 through adult.  Students who apply to IMG Pendleton who do not meet the required English proficiency may be placed in the IEP at the Director’s discretion before beginning to accrue American school credit towards graduation.

The Intensive English Program requires a  F-1 student visa or other eligible non-immigrant visas.  The IEP cannot be taken on a tourist (B1/B2) visa. 

Before applying for a student visa, you will need to request an I-20 after submitting a copy of your passport and a letter from your bank stating you have sufficient funds to study in the USA.

This is an academic program designed to help prepare international student-athletes for entrance into an American school. Classes will focus on elevating your written & spoken English to the next level of sophistication.   

The five-week Intensive English program conducts its classes separately from the 3-week ESL classes in order to keep classes small and consistent.  Our goal is to prepare students for their entrance into an English-speaking school.   This is also an excellent opportunity for students to decide if they wish to return to the Academy as a fulltime participant in an academic program.
