English Classes

Classes are open to Stanford students, post-doctoral scholars, and their family members.  Twelve courses are offered during the academic year, plus seven courses are offered during the summer for internationals to improve English language skills, learn about American culture and converse with their peers.

 

Registration is not required to take any of the classes which are held at the Bechtel International Center.  To attend, simply go to a class at the indicated starting time on the course schedule.  There is no tuition charge, and students may take more than one class.  Please arrange child care babies.  Click here for the current class schedule:  "URL for current class schedule"
