The New England School of English (NESE), Harvard Square

NESE, Harvard Square was founded in 1990. Since that time, it has been recommended by leading universities and recognized as one of the top schools in the world. We are now delighted to bring you the classes that created this reputation, the very same classes that students from over 100 countries come to Harvard Square to experience.

The NESE, Harvard Square System

At NESE, Harvard Square, we have 10 levels. Students attend classes five days each week for 4 weeks. Every 4 weeks, students complete one level, and assuming that they pass their exams, they then move up to the next level. Most students take 3 subjects which last for 4.5 hours each day. However, some students take only two subjects (3 hours each day), and a few take just one subject (1.5 hours each day). As a NESE On-Line student, the choice is yours. You can see the daily schedule below.

Class Schedule

Starting Dates: 4-Week Sessions

Starting Dates: 2-Week Sessions

Important Notice About Attending NESE for Only 2 Weeks:

NESE's 2-week course is simply one-half of a standard 4-week NESE session. Students who register for a 2-week course can either:
Start at the beginning of a standard 4-week session and finish at the midpoint of this session - Indicated by bold type below.
Start at the midpoint of a standard 4-week session and finish at the end of this session - Indicated by light type below.
Please note that NESE does not offer Level 1 for students starting at the midpoint of a standard 4-week session.
If You would like to take a 2-Week session, please contact us at neseonlinesupport@nese.edu for additional information.

Your Placement Test

After you have taken your placement test, you can choose your classes (just click on the “Choose My Class” tab above). Although you will see the full range of classes and levels, the website will only let you take the classes appropriate for your level (for example, you must be in Level 9 (of 10) to take the TOEFL course, and the system will not permit you to register for TOEFL unless you placed into Level 9 on the NESE On-Line Placement test. The level requirements are on the daily schedule below.

Different Levels for Different Skills

In many schools, you are required to be in the same level for all skill areas. However, this is not true at NESE. We understand that no two students are alike, and while two students might both place into Level 6 for Grammar & Idioms, they might place into different levels for Conversation & Listening, and for Reading & Writing. For example:

Student A: Level 6 for Grammar, Level 6 for Conversation & Listening, and Level 6 for Reading & Writing
Student B: Level 6 for Grammar, Level 4 for Conversation & Listening, and Level 5 for Reading & Writing
Student C: Level 6 for Grammar, Level 8 for Conversation & Listening, and Level 8 for Reading & Writing

As your language skills are unique to you, your placement levels should be as well. No two students are alike, and the NESE curriculum is designed to accommodate these individual - and very important differences.

In Class

In each class, punctual attendance is expected, homework is to be done, and most importantly, class participation is strongly encouraged - It is much harder to improve your English if you don’t speak! We understand that nothing is better than traveling to a country to learn the language, but we are delighted to bring you second-best. In Harvard Square or online, because of the high quality of our teachers, our curriculum (and of course, our students), we can assure you that you will truly have an extraordinary opportunity to learn English.
