ACADEMIC PROGRAMME

Classes and activities in English

Our experience as educators enables us to draw up a comprehensive academic programme featuring a blend of classes and activities in English.

This means that our students acquire the knowledge that they need in a way that is really fun.

On arrival s tudents undergo an initial test to determine their level of English, and groups of 15 students are formed accordingly. This makes for homogenous groups in which students can keep up with the pace of their classes.

Grammar, phonetics, essay writing and written and oral expression are the key elements in our method. At the more advanced levels students are also taught English literature and history. As an option, students may also receive an extra hour of spoken English per day as from the second week.

We realise that the best way to learn a language is by using it, so we strive to ensure that students speak only English in class and during activities and excursions.

The programme comprises:

. 25 x 60 minute classroom periods per week
. 25 open classes per week with a teacher and a monitor.
. Groups of 15 students with different levels of English.
. Drama & handicrafts classes in English at no extra charge.

Optional programme::

Children under 13 can choose between a conventional course and a format comprising 3 ½ hours of classes in the mornings and a choice of six activities in English in the afternoons.


The diploma awarded by Trinity College London is recognized by the British government as officially valid.

Students on four-week courses have the opportunity to sit the Trinity exam, though they are not compelled to do so.
