                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrator
of the ESI 401(k) Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the ESI 401(k) Plan at December 31, 1998, and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable
transactions for the period ended December 31, 1998 are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund
information in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and
the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for
plan benefits of each fund. These supplemental schedules and fund information
are the responsibility of the plan's management. The supplemental schedules
and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

ESI 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1.   SUMMARY OF PLAN PROVISIONS

       The following description of the ESI 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides
       only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan
       Description and the Plan document for more complete descriptions of the
       Plan's provisions.

       GENERAL

       The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all salaried employees
       of ITT Educational Services, Inc. ("ESI") (or an affiliate of ESI that
       adopts the Plan) who have completed one year of service. It is subject to
       Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and the
       provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
       amended ("ERISA"). The ESI Employee Benefit Plan Administration and
       Investment Committee (the "Committee") is the plan administrator of the
       Plan for purposes of ERISA. J.P. Morgan/American Century Retirement Plan
       Services provides administrative services under a written agreement with
       the Committee. UMB Bank, N.A. is trustee of the trust for the Plan.

       The Plan became effective in June 1998. Prior to June 1998, ESI employees
       participated in The ITT 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "ITT Plan")
       of ITT Corporation, ESI's former parent corporation. In June 1998, the
       portion of the ITT Plan assets attributable to ESI employees began being
       transferred to the ESI employees' Plan accounts, which is reflected in
       the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits as
       "Transfer in from ITT Plan." As of December 31, 1998, not all of the
       assets attributable to ESI employees in the ITT Plan had been
       transferred to the ESI employees' Plan accounts. All assets
       attributable to ESI employees that remain in the ITT Plan on December
       31, 1999, will be transferred to the ESI employees' Plan accounts.

       CONTRIBUTIONS

       Each year, a participant may contribute up to 16% of pretax annual base
       compensation, as defined in the Plan. ESI makes a matching contribution
       equal to 50% of the first 5% of base compensation that a participant
       contributes to the Plan during each payroll processing period. In
       addition, ESI makes a retirement contribution of 1% of a participant's
       base compensation for each payroll processing period. ESI contributions
       are made in or invested in ESI common stock. Participant contributions
       are invested among a number of available investment funds as directed by
       each participant. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

       PARTICIPANT PLAN ACCOUNTS

       Each participant's Plan account is credited with the participant's
       contribution and allocations of (a) the ESI contribution and (b) Plan
       earnings, and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.
       Earnings and administrative expenses are allocated based on account
       balances. Contributions are allocated based on the contribution formula
       described in the preceding paragraph. The benefit to which a participant
       is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the vested portion
       of participant's Plan account. Forfeitures from terminated participants'
       nonvested accounts are used to reduce future ESI contributions.

       VESTING

       Participants are 100% vested in their contributions and ESI retirement
       contributions, plus any actual earnings on those contributions. Vesting
       in the ESI matching contributions and the earnings on those contributions
       is based on the participant's years of continuous service with ESI in
       accordance with the following table:

</TABLE>

       LOANS

       A participant may borrow from his or her Plan account, while employed by
       ESI, up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of the Plan
       account balance. Loan terms cannot exceed five years, unless the loan is
       to be used in conjunction with the purchase of a participant's primary
       residence. The loans are secured by the amounts transferred to the Loan
       Fund (as defined in the Plan) from the participant's Plan account and
       bear interest at a rate determined by the Committee. Loan principal and
       interest are paid ratably by monthly payroll deductions, or as otherwise
       agreed to by the participant and the Committee.

       INVESTMENT OPTIONS

       The Plan trustee has established and maintains 12 separate investment
       funds into which participants may direct their contributions. Those 12
       separate funds are as follows:

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY ULTRA FUND--Invests in a diversified portfolio of
           medium- and large-size companies that fund management considers to
           have above-average potential for appreciation.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY REAL ESTATE FUND--Invests primarily in securities
           issued by real estate investment trusts with potential for long-term
           capital appreciation.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY VALUE FUND--Invests in equity securities of
           well-established companies that fund management believes to be
           undervalued at the time of purchase.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND--Invests in a diversified
           range of foreign companies with above-average potential for
           appreciation.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND: CONSERVATIVE--Invests in
           bond and money market securities and equity securities with the
           objective of moderate long-term growth.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY STRATEGIC ALLOCATION FUND: MODERATE--Invests in
           equity securities and maintains a sizable stake in bonds and money
           market securities to provide long-term growth and some regular
           income.

           provide long-term growth and a small amount of income.

       -   AMERICAN CENTURY INCOME & GROWTH FUND--Invests in stocks of companies

       FUND TRANSFERS

       Transfers between funds result from participants redirecting their
       contributions between the funds listed above.

       DISTRIBUTIONS

       A participant is eligible to receive a distribution from the Plan upon
       the participant's termination of service, death, disability, retirement
       or demonstration of financial hardship. Payments are normally made in the
       form of a single lump sum. If the value of the participant's vested Plan
       account balance exceeds $5,000, however, the participant may elect
       instead to receive payment in one of the following forms: (a) annual
       installments; (b) monthly installments; or (c) a nonforfeitable annuity,
       which will be purchased from an insurance company by the Plan on the
       participant's behalf.



   2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

       The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
       method of accounting.

       USE OF ESTIMATES

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
       and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

   2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

       INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

       Investments, which are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
       market and credit risks, are stated at fair value as determined by the
       Plan trustee as the quoted market value or unit values based upon
       quoted market values as of the last business day of the plan year.
       Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

       The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
       benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
       investments, which consists of realized gains and losses and the
       unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

       PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

       Disbursements to participants are recorded when paid.



   3.  INVESTMENTS

       The following is a summary of investments at December 31, 1998 that
       represent 5% or more of net assets available for Plan benefits:

</TABLE>

   4.  ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

       Participant accounts were charged $5,243 for administrative fees related
       to the Plan for the period ended December 31, 1998. ESI paid
       administrative fees of $38,707 for the period ended December 31, 1998.

   5.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by J.P.
       Morgan/American Century or its affiliates and, therefore, these
       investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt
       from the ERISA prohibited transaction rules. In addition, participants in
       the Plan may invest their contributions in the ESI Stock Fund, which
       primarily holds shares of ESI common stock. At December 31, 1998, the ESI
       Stock Fund held 409,292 shares with a historical cost of $10,224,846 and
       a market value of $13,915,928.

   6.  PLAN TERMINATION

       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, ESI has the right
       under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
       Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their Plan
       accounts.



   7.  INCOME TAX STATUS

       The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter on April 13,
       1999 stating that the Plan qualifies for tax-exempt status under the
