The five-week Fessenden English as a Second Language (ESL) Summer Program has had more than twenty-five countries represented since its inception in 1992. What makes the Fessenden ESL Summer Program so special is our small size, personal attention, blend of academics, cultural interactions, language projects, travel experiences, summer camp activities, and total language immersion. Students attend academic classes, use the English language in a variety of projects and enrichment classes, play together in the pool and on the athletic fields, travel to New York City, camp in the woods of Maine, and learn how to work and to live in a global society.
