Elective Courses

Our elective courses are offered in addition to the regular intensive courses and are not included in tuition costs for the Academy. Students may enroll in these electives along with their regular ELA courses.

Non ELA students may enroll in elective courses. High intermediate level proficiency is required for most courses.
