The needs of our students are a top priority. NLS offers a range of Student Services to ensure that students flawlessly transition to the American culture and lifestyle. The School Director, Student Services Coordinator, and Program Coordinator are available to answer students’ questions about the school and other matters in general, such as housing, transportation, banking, sporting and recreation, tourist attractions, colleges and universities, internships, scholarships, and social and cultural norms. The School Director and Program Coordinator can also help the students with school related issues.
Student Advising
NLS has three administrators who also serve as advisers. Students can make appointments with the Director, Program Coordinator, or Student Services Coordinator for academic and personal advising. Office hours of each administrator are posted on the InfoBoard in the main hall.
If the administrators feel that a student’s needs exceed the resources available within NLS, referrals to other professionals, services, or programs are provided.

Academic advising is available for students whose needs are academic in nature. Academic advising is provided for students who
- struggle during a course;

- do not pass a course;
- are taking the TOEFL course;
- are interested in attending a US college or university;
- have questions regarding their studies.
Personal Advising

Parties, Celebrations, and Picnics

Class/Schedule Change
Students may request a class or schedule change only for legitimate reasons. For instance, if a student desires to move to another ESL course, the student must undergo a skills evaluation by the Student Advisor. Upon the Student Advisor’s recommendation, the student can move to the desired course. Teachers may also recommend a student’s change of course. NLS can accommodate these changes as long as there is availability.
