The program includes instruction in reading, writing, listening, speaking, as well as grammar. Students are placed into levels based on their placement test scores.

Each class hour consists of 50 minutes of class and 10 minutes of break time. Classes are held on the campus of the University of Houston, allowing students the opportunity to learn their way around campus and mix with American students at the university.
