Each distinct course we offer is tailor-made to suit a particular age group. As children in different age groups have particular needs, we apply different styles of teaching in each case.
This Upper Secondary course helps prepare 14–17 year olds to communicate effectively in English in adult life, at work and in higher education. It also focuses more on grammatical accuracy, vocabulary and spelling which is vital in order to pass international English exams.
The course runs between September and April. It has a variety of levels and involves a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing, and communicative activities that mimic real-life situations.
