Growing up with English!15-19 years old
Growing up with English!For teenagers, secondary school is both a real challenge and a moment defined by their first far-reaching decisions. Their environment, bodies and interests change. Their mature personality is being formed. A whole new world of different perspectives opens up to them. A fluent command of English is their chance for international friendships, educational achievements, scholarships and pursuing hobbies. It is their strategic investment for the future.
The courses designed for teenagers aged 15-19 are steps along the same path as the previous educational milestones at Early Stage. At this level students use English as a communication tool. They employ a richer vocabulary, formulate their thoughts with ease and converse freely. The courses develop their skills and prepare them for Cambridge exams at Preliminary for Schools, First for Schools and Advanced levels. The learning progress is continuously monitored through tests, quick quizzes and exams. Because of these, we are sure that education at our school is remarkably effective.
The number of students at Early Stage results in outstanding English learning achievements. It makes space for a creative exchange of opinions, teachers’ original projects and active cooperation among students. The teams’ core members guarantee a well-balanced level of linguistic competence.
