When can I begin?

You can enroll in a Semi-Intensive General English course approximately every Monday, with the exception of school holidays. However, you are not permitted to take a Semi-Intensive class during July or August.

Beginners choose the date they begin and the number of weeks they study. There are set start dates for beginners.

• In addition, the program also exposes them to various cultures, languages and accents that will help them develop their communication skills: pronunciation, fluency, and sensitivity.
• In the areas of writing and communications, kids will be exposed to both formal and informal skills.
• Children who have trouble reading and listening may benefit from practicing these skills on a daily basis.
