Courses for Young Learners

Our Young Learners courses are for learners aged six to16 years of age. Classes are grouped on the basis of age and language ability.

They are activity based and focus on getting children to use the language they learn. The aim is for classes to be fun but based on sound educational principles.

Children have the opportunity to take the Cambridge Young Learner examinations as part of their course when they have reached the appropriate level.
