  • Lessons are structured around themes and designed to be both informative and engaging. The curriculum allows students to use English in real-life situations and build their confidence.
  • Wide range of programmes: in addition to English, students can play basketball, study medicine or international relations.

Programme

The programme includes 15 hours of English lessons per week. The course focuses on developing four key communication skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Throughout the course, children will have many opportunities to practise the language in real-life situations, which promotes confidence and freedom in communication.

Intensive programme

The programme includes 23 hours of English lessons per week. The intensive course allows students to effectively develop all four language skills — reading, writing, speaking and listening — in a short period of time. The lessons are designed to build confidence in using English in various situations through engaging and interactive formats.

The basketball course is suitable for students of all levels. The programme includes 15 hours of English lessons per week + 9 hours of sports training under the guidance of accredited coaches.

Participants are encouraged to apply and demonstrate their skills in competitive exercises. The culmination of the training is a colourful and exciting weekly tournament.

The programme provides an insight into various professions in the field of medicine, from doctors and dentists to veterinarians and optometrists. The programme offers a unique opportunity to learn about university education and career prospects in the field of medicine and healthcare.

Students develop practical skills and deepen their knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics through English-language classes. In addition, the programme includes seminars on preparing for university admission, including the UKCAT exam, which is used for admission to medical universities in the UK.
