A school for English language learners from abroad is resuming its 30-year partnership with Dominican University.

ELS Educational Services Chicago will open its Language Center on the second floor of Dominican’s Lewis Hall annex in time to welcome approximately 64 students from Japan this September. The students will attend English classes taught by ELS instructors inside Lewis Hall.
