Our programs for young learners and teenagers create a solid foundation for learning about the world.

VERY YOUNG LEARNERS AND YOUNG LEARNERS

For preprimary and primary, we use real-world content, supported by projects, songs, games, and stories to show very young leaners and young learners that English is a tool to learn about and communicate with the world.

TEENS

Our secondary programs help teenage learners understand each other better, with projects and classroom activities that encourage confident self-expression, and help learners to develop their own voice in English.
