Boys and girls will be assigned to the appropriate class for beginners or for intermediate or advanced students on the basis of placement tests given upon arrival at the School. Some previous knowledge is desirable but not essential. In the language-training both audio-visual and more traditional methods will be used.

Students will be taught conversational English. They will be able to learn the art of conversation required in the daily round of social life, such as greetings, requests, thanks, regrets, apologies and enquiries.

There will be opportunities for the more advanced students to study human behaviour and problems by reading some of the plays, poetry and novels which make English Literature one of the richest and most varied in the world. Students will read and comment on newspaper articles and examine current issues of international importance in group discussion.
They will also be encouraged to write letters home, keep diaries and compose essays and articles on different topics during the course. A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to all students at the end of the programme. Private study can be carried out by students in the excellent school library with its special reading lofts.

Students whose first language is English or who are fluent in English language are asked to choose one of the following courses. Click on "Alternatives for English speakers" below.
