Students take part in formal lessons in five mornings a week in groups of maximum 12. We ensure that all students are happy, challenged and grow in confidence.

English Language

Our core programme helps students develop their English language proficiency. We offer tuition to all students from beginners who are just starting their language journey to fluent speakers looking to enhance their skills, further expanding their vocabulary and refining their communication style.

Leadership Through Adventure

Our Leadership programme offers students the opportunity to develop essential leadership skills through interactive, adventure-based sessions and practical experiences, equipping participants with the tools needed to excel in both personal and academic pursuits.

Levels:

Students receive an online placement test and questionnaire prior to arrival so that they can be placed in the best class for their needs. If necessary, we carry out further tests on arrival.

Students are placed into English language groups dependent on age and English ability.

The ages, number and ability of students change week to week, and we adapt class levels to ensure they match students’ needs.

Fluent Speakers

Our approach to teaching is topic-based, inspired by MYP English (rather than General English) for higher level learners, which means that fluent speakers at C1 & C2 levels enjoy a high-level, practical engagement with the English language.

It ensures that students with particularly advanced standards of English (for example, those who attend international schools, have studied English for a long time or have, in fact, grown up speaking English) are still challenged at the right level in class.
