In addition to morning classes, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after lunch, teachers take students on excursions around Edinburgh. Together with classes and excursions, students spend 23.5 hours a week with their teacher.

School staff do their utmost to create favourable conditions for learning. There are programmes to encourage communication in English, and lessons are held in mixed classes with children of different nationalities. Teachers focus on developing each child's personality.

During lessons, children learn all the basic skills (spoken English, listening, reading and writing). However, the main emphasis is on communication and the development of communication skills. Homework is also an important part of the programme, and students are given special time to complete it. All materials necessary for the learning process are provided.
