WESLI has partnered with the University of Wisconsin College System to offer three- credit college classes at WESLI. This is a great opportunity for WESLI students to earn college credit while still studying at WESLI. These credits can be transferred to UW schools and count towards a student’s general education requirements, no matter what major they choose.

Etudié Préparation universitaire en AnglaisEXCELLENT SCHOOL!!!
I am a Chinese student, and my college major was law. I want to become an excellent scholar and researcher in this field in the future.
One year ago, I heard a lot of information about WESLI from my friend Penelope, and she was studying at WESLI at that time. She told me that WESLI is very helpful and offers a good opportunity to study with many experienced teachers, and she strongly recommended me studying at WESLI. It happened that I was busy preparing for my master degree and worrying about my English ability, so I decided to come here.
I've been here for eight months, and I still remember the first time I came to WESLI. It was a snowy morning, and I had never experienced such a freezing weather before. Honestly, I felt unhappy at that time. However, all my bad feelings disappeared when I arrived at WESLI because I found everyone is very friendly and amiable, and it made me feel warm and comfortable.
I have changed a lot during these eight months. Before I came here, I could not communicate with foreigners freely because my spoken English was awful! Also, I could not read academic journals, and I had never thought I can give a presentation in English. However, now I have many friends from different countries, and I read a lot of articles and books and gave a lot of presentations in my class. All these amazing things became true because of WESLI!
My teachers are awesome! They help me practicing my English again and again, and they are willing to answer all the questions. With their help, I become more confident, and my English has improved a lot. In addition, my classes are very helpful. I learned how to write academic articles and evaluate them in my writing class, and I watched many academic lectures and learned how to take notes in my listening and speaking class. I will go to an American university next year, and I think all the things I learned from WESLI can help me adapt to the American college life easily in the future.
I have to say that I love Madison. People are very friendly here, and the environment is super awesome! It's a good place for both living and studying. I live in the dorm now, and I have three amazing roommates; the dorm is close to WESLI which is very convenient for students.

Etudié Préparation universitaire en AnglaisWonderful ESL School
WESLI prepared me for my life in the US. Well experienced and passionate teachers with unique back grounds taught me not only English, but also life. I went to the US with not knowing the language or about life right after high school in Japan. But I never felt lonely because of people around me. Of course friends but also teachers made me comfortable. They taught us English, hung out with us, and invited us for dinner. Interaction with teachers made me comfortable and motivated to learn English. With that I was able to finished 700 course in WESLI in 2005, got a letter of recommendation to University of Wisconsin Whitewater, graduated with BA in Social Work, went back to Japan working at the duty free shop in Tokyo international airport, did internship in Japanese NGO in the Philippines supporting children in need, and now I am a project coordinator in the Japanese NGO in the Philippines. I would like to thank WESLI for everything that they offered us because without WESLI, I would not be able to find what I like to do in my life. I really like WESLI, so I recommended 2 Japanese friends to go to WESLI, they went and enjoyed studying there. So if you ask me where to study English, my answer will always be "WESLI." They have more activities now so I would have given 5 hearts if I am there now ;) If you are looking for an ESL, do not even think twice, just apply for WESLI ;)

Etudié Préparation universitaire en AnglaisI love WESLI
I studied in WESLI for more than a year and I can surely that I love that school so much! I always recommend it to people who want to improve their English skills in an academic level. They really helped and prepared me for college in the United States. I got admitted in one of the best Bible colleges in Chicago and the USA. If I had gone to a different school, I wouldn't have gotten admitted. Thank you WESLI staff and teachers for giving me more than what I thought I needed!

Etudié Préparation universitaire en AnglaisAwesome ESL school!
I attended WESLI for about nine months (or about 5 sessions) back in 2007. My English was pretty basic, I could write and read but I couldn't speak at all (mainly because I was afraid to make mistakes while talking). Classes at WESLI are challenging and require a fair amount of work so I remember it was hard to keep up sometimes. Teachers and staff were super friendly and helpful and the school's location was definitely convenient (5 min walk to State St!). I've been really successful academically after I completed my studies at WESLI, I recently graduated with a Master's in Business from Edgewood College and also got my undergraduate degree at the same school. I wouldn't be where I'm at if I hadn't learned and mastered my English skills at WESLI. I loved everything about WESLI, My teachers, classes, the friends and memories I made!
I would definitely recommend WESLI to those who want to improve their English skills!
