Primary Learners (Aged 7 - 9)

Who is the programme for?
We are delighted to announce the launch of an innovative new programme for primary children aged 7 – 9 years old.  It has been designed to give your child a truly rewarding English learning experience.  Our courses are based on the latest developments in teaching English and use the most up to date age-specific resources and materials.


What are the aims?
Our Primary Programme courses aim to:

  • provide children with a positive experience to develop their enjoyment of English
  • develop children’s confidence and skills when speaking and interacting with others
  • enhance and activate the English and content they are learning at school
  • foster a love of storybooks and a passion for reading in English


Which levels are available?
We have four language levels and each takes a full academic year (over four 10-week terms) to complete. This provides your child with 240 hours of learning per level:

Primary Red -> Primary Orange -> Primary Yellow -> Primary Green


What is the course content?
We achieve our aims through:

  • learning objectives shared with the children as can-do statements
  • authentic children’s literature to present language in child-friendly contexts
  • cross-curricular topics and themes
  • group projects over a series of lessons
  • individualised support for each child according to their ability


How are the courses assessed?
Assessment is based on the achievement of the can-do statements and showcased in Learning Portfolios where the children keep evidence of their learning from the year.  Each 60-hour term, your child will receive a report showing their progress.  They will receive a certificate at the end of the 240-hour academic year.  


When are the lessons?
Primary Learners have three 2-hour lessons each week. These lessons are either Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays or Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
To find out your child or teenagers' level, s/he will take a written placement test and a short interview with one of our teachers.


How much does it cost?
Kyats 290,000 per term plus fees for materials.
