Academic Approach
In its report “New Vision for Education: Fostering Social and Emotional Learning Through Technology,” the World Economic Forum identified several literacies, competencies, and character qualities essential for students to excel in the 21st century.
We believe that young learners must cultivate these skills to thrive in the evolving digital economy and be ready for the workplaces of the future.

Our Methodology: The CLIL Approach
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) involves teaching subjects through a foreign language, in our case – English. This approach means students learn about a subject while simultaneously improving English language skills.
When learners are interested in a subject, they are motivated to acquire the language they need. Learning is improved through greater motivation and the study of natural language seen in real-world contexts. CLIL encourages students to engage in natural and meaningful language acquisition.
On our programmes, International students work together with British students on interactive and engaging, enquiry-based projects delivered by experienced and qualified subject teachers, trained in CLIL.
Our intensive and immersive programme of structured lessons, supervised activities and inspiring excursions and study tours means every part of the day provides an opportunity for learning and practice. During breaks, meals, activities and excursions, students will continue practising their English and experience British culture.
