Academic
We know how important it is for each individual student to find their own path in language learning. We use a wide range of methods to engage and stimulate our students. This is why we have created a curriculum based on the students’ age, level and needs, structured into four different programmes*:
- FUN (Ages 8-10): Engaging lessons that offer a wide range of materials and activities specific for our young learners. It makes games into lessons and lessons into games. Available in levels A1-B1;
- CONNECTION (Ages 10-13): Dynamic lessons covering a variety of topics and media, designed to engage students using tools native to the fast-paced world they
are growing up in. Available in levels A1-C1; - ACTION (Ages 13-16): Lessons tailored for learners stepping into their teenage years. This programme focuses on activating students’ knowledge and competencies to
balance developing a personal voice while contributing effectively to a team. Available in levels A1-C2; - PURPOSE (Ages 16-18): Lessons tailored for our students approaching adulthood, designed to kickstart their lives not only as maturing youths but also as forward-thinking global citizens. Available in levels A1-C2;
The Connection, Action, and Purpose programmes consist of three different lessons a day:
- Focus on Linguistics
These lessons aim to empower our students’ linguistic awareness and capabilities by working on all language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and systems
(grammar, phonology, lexis, discourse), as well as using materials relevant to exam preparation (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, TOEFL, IELTS, GESE). - Focus on Leadership
This programme is designed to equip students with essential 21st-century skills, focusing on leadership development, communication and teamwork. Students build the confidence and competencies needed to grow into empowered young adults. - Focus on Culture
These lessons combine CLIL and British culture, allowing students to use English to explore a range of disciplines, including art, literature, natural sciences, as well as the history and geography of the UK.
Placement Tests
We offer classes at all levels from Elementary to Advanced. Students take a placement test on their first day of lessons to ensure they are placed at the correct level**. We also offer a specific test for students with special needs.
Examinations
We offer the option of taking the Trinity College London Graded Examination in Spoken English (GESE) on site for courses of 10 days or longer.***
Year-round Programmes
We can offer alternative, bespoke English language lessons for our ministay groups. We can deliver a range of English for Specific Purposes courses on request so please contact the team to discuss your group’s requirements.
Students are taught in class sizes up to 16.
