PROGRAM

The basis of all programmes is English lessons.

The course helps to develop confidence in spoken English, improve grammar, listening, reading, writing and increase vocabulary. This is done through a communicative curriculum. It includes themed weeks, when the same topic is studied in class and then on excursions.

Before the start of classes, a test is conducted, based on the results of which students are assigned to the appropriate group. Progress is checked weekly. Classes have a maximum of 12 students. At the end of the course, children receive a report and a course certificate.

The programme includes preparation for exams: Trinity College, the London Graduate English Speaking Exam (GESE) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Students who choose GESE will take the spoken English exam on the last Friday. Students who choose IELTS have the opportunity to take the exam on dates set by the school in the summer of 2022.

English + Activities

15 hours of English lessons per week. The course is designed for children who want to improve their English and have fun. After lunch, the children take part in activities such as sports, bowling, raft building, rock climbing, trampolining, ice skating, laser quest, kayaking and shopping. Children of different nationalities actively communicate with each other, thus using the language in real-life situations.

English + British Culture

15 hours of English + 12 hours of themed lessons per week. A course for students who want to learn more about British life and society. Children do not take part in activities in the afternoon, but instead have 3 hours of additional interesting lessons per day. Each week, one topic is studied, around which classroom lessons, themed trips, guest lectures and practical educational activities are built.

English + Horse Riding

15 hours of English lessons per week. Leicestershire is one of the most famous places for horse riding in England. In partnership with Somerby Equestrian Centre, children spend 10 hours per week learning to ride under the guidance of professional trainers. Lessons include jumping, cross-country riding and horse handling. Students learn about horses and ponies, how to care for them and how to ride them correctly.

English + Karting

15 hours of English lessons per week + 10 hours of karting lessons per week: driving and fitness instruction. Lessons focus on skill development, with daily progress reviews. The goal is to see clear progress throughout the course. Classes are held by the school's partners at the Stretton Circuit karting club.

Public speaking and debating + activities

This programme for students aged 14-17 offers a unique opportunity to learn public speaking and debating skills under the guidance of experienced trainers from the English Speaking Union London.

The programme aims to develop confidence, the ability to articulate thoughts clearly and to speak persuasively in any situation.
