English as a Second Language/English Language Learner (ESL/ELL) classes are offered for an additional fee.  It is determined through the admission process if these classes are needed by the applicant. Most international applicants take the ESL/ELL classes.

If your child has a psycho-educational evaluation report:  We welcome but do not require copies of the report as an added component of the application process. (If an applicant is accepted and if we have not already received a copy of the report, we require the report at that time and before enrolling in order to determine if the student is eligible for the kinds of accommodations our program is able to provide.  It also serves as a useful tool in assisting the student during his/her first year at Friends Select and beyond.)
