Full Spectrum English
Qualified placement within our 5-tier Core Program ensures that students can develop their full-range of English skills in a learning environment that is both challenging and enjoyable.
Qualified students may enroll in Focus Series as a supplement to their Core Program courses.
See below for more details on core program courses available.
I. Seedlings
Our foundational course. We believe this is where the most crucial language skills are grown.
The course has a strong emphasis on phonics, vocabulary acquisition and learning grammar through use.
II. Sprouts
Young learners grow quickly. Our Sprouts program is an exciting time of rapid growth.
The course continues to build on the basic fundamentals of English, and our project modules encourage students to grow their skills in authentic English situations.
III. Saplings
After mastering the fundamentals, many language students hit a "plateau" in skill acquisition. Our Saplings course is designed to help student's overcome the plateau.
An integrated reading and writing curriculum will help develop critical thinking skills in young learners.
Also at this stage, we begin to seamlessly introduce more theory of grammar, so students can better understand the construction of English.
IV. Trekkers
Our Trekkers have proven their skills. Now, they're ready to not just learn English, they're ready to learn in English.
The aim is to create self-motivated learners, and support their abilities to do that learning in English.
Though all of our courses feature writing programs, the Trekker's course features an integrated writing program to ensure that our students have the ability and confidence to express complex thoughts in writing.
V. Explorers
Explorers have reached great heights on their journey to mastering English. Their skills are exceptional but they still have their eyes on the next challenge.
A major focus of this course is to provide direction and support to learners who are confident and able to lead their own journey.
Coursework will ensure that writing abilities continue to develop and advanced vocabulary is acquired at a weekly rate.
More freedom is given to our Explorers during the project modules. If they have a particular interest/educational goal in mind, we help them design projects that enable them to pursue their interests and strengthen their English skills.
