Overview

Effective Learning

We make learning effective by making it engaging and fun. Our communicative approach employs project and leadership components that encourage learners to be actively engaged in the learning process with tangible, rewarding outcomes that go beyond developing language skills.

Students often work in groups on assigned projects that include web, video, podcast and blog creations and team building and leadership skill exercises. The goal is to create an interactive, communicative setting to fully engage students in the learning process.

Our curriculum, available in both digital and print format, is specially designed for the needs of young learners emphasizing topics and exercises that are more appealing to their needs and interests.

Instructors

Strong Relationships

The most important part of any learning journey is the relationship between instructors and students. Smaller classes (14 to 16 on average) led by professional, certified instructors, provide a comfortable and engaging learning environment. All our teachers are required to have a university degree, teaching certification and 2 years teaching experience. Instructors for junior students are specifically selected for their experience and innate ability in teaching young learners. They have the indispensable personality skills to connect with young learners and keep them engaged throughout the learning process. This bond continues outside the classroom as the teachers lead students on activities and help them discover their new city and its culture.
