    What our students are saying

    Our teachers at Metro South are funny and very patient!  And my listening (skills) are better.  I will tell people about Metro South because it is wonderful.

    I wanted to go to college and English is not my first language.  I needed help to prepare for college writing and this school helped me to organize my thoughts.  I can now write and communicate in a clear way that is understood.  The staff are kind, supportive, and so patient.  Thank you!

    – Glenda M.

    After two months of school,  I see my progress in understanding and speaking English. Lessons have been going in an interesting way, they’re never boring. We work a lot on our American pronunciation together with teacher and volunteers. I feel myself more confident now. Our classrooms are very comfortable, clean, spacious and always with clean air. I really enjoy studying here.

    [This is the] first school in the U.S. that taught me the American way of learning from ESL up to high school (diploma). It is the best school! I am glad I went to this school to start my basics.
