For nearly 95 years, NSC has remained the premier center for English language classes in the Greater Philadelphia Area. Nationalities Service Center is also Act 48 accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Our most popular classes are our student-centered English as a Second Language (ESL) classes — we host beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses. Students’ language skills are assessed at registration and they are placed in one of seven levels of ESL classes. All of our classes are open to the public and taught on-site at NSC by highly motivated, experienced volunteer teachers who help students gain a richer understanding of US culture and society..
