ILSC Education Group and ELS Language Centers are excited to announce the adoption and expansion of National Geographic Learning materials, bringing inspiring new content and interactive digital tools into classrooms across both organizations.
At ELS, a renewed agreement introduces updated English language textbooks with fresh covers and engaging new elements, alongside expanded access to the Spark digital platform, beginning from November 2025. Chris Wallett, Director of Academic Affairs at ELS shared, "we’re thrilled to renew our agreement with National Geographic Learning to continue to use their superb materials in our programs. We’ve seen how the NGL stories, images, and themes engage students in meaningful ways, motivating them to learn and preparing them with the skills they need to succeed academically, professionally, and personally.”
At ILSC, students will engage with National Geographic Learning materials for the first time. Launching in January 2026, National Geographic Learning textbooks and the Spark digital platform will become core components of the English Foundation, English Communication, and English for Academic Purposes programs.
Key Benefits for Students and Teachers
With this new introduction of National Geographic Learning resources at ILSC, Cheryl House, Global Language Curriculum Director highlighted, “at ILSC, we’re committed to providing students with inspiring, real-world learning experiences. Our collaboration with National Geographic Learning brings authentic, globally relevant content into the classroom, helping students build not just language skills, but also a deeper understanding of the world around them.”
By incorporating National Geographic Learning resources with Spark’s digital innovation, both ILSC and ELS are reinforcing their commitment to providing engaging, flexible, and student-centered learning experiences.
