Curriculum
Infant Class (for 1year olds)
From this point, the goal is to have the children pick up new words through games and play, a process we call "Second language acquisition though fun". We use traditional games, songs and activities from other countries and the TPR method (Total Physical Response-full body immersion) to engage the children. The aim of the course is to learn English with foreign staff in a fun and relaxed setting. Moreover, we always take care to provide a comfortable, pressure-free environment by matching toilet training and the like to the individual developmental needs of each child..
Toddler Class (for 2 year olds)
Slightly different from the Infant Class, the Toddler Class prepares children for their upcoming Pre-Kindergarten Class. Of course, much as in the Infant Class, the children are taught through the use of play and games, however the Toddler Class aims to continue to increase the level. Also, we start having the children do paintings and look at books, to accustom them for eventually sitting at a school desk.
Prekinder Class (for 3 year olds)
From this year, the children will start practicing writing with pencils in addition to continuing to develop their listening skills, starting with the ABCs. Workbooks will also be introduced. Also, the students will begin practicing some independent production of English, with the goal that they will be able to tell their friends how old they are. The staff will also work hard to give each child the support they need.
Kinder Class (For 4 year olds)
At this point, the children will start to enjoy linking words together to express their feelings, under the guidance of a native English-speaking teacher. They will practice each sound of the English language so that they can perfect their pronunciation. They will start to have fun speaking English with their friends while seeing who can do it the best.
Elementary Class (For 5 year olds)
Having mastered conversation to some extent, the children are now able to express their feelings in longer utterances. Their vocabulary and their reading and writing ability will also improve. They will also begin to study texts to help them connect their words in a grammatical fashion. There will also be some simple arithmetic taught in English.
Saturday Classes (For infants to 4rth Graders)
By repeating the morning Circle time lesson in the afternoon, we have created a system aimed at consolidation the children's language skills.
Of course, in addition to studying, we engage the children in play and games, trying to prompt the children into spontaneous conversation.
After School Class (For infants-4rth graders)
In our "Circle Time" lessons, we teach the children using methods focused on games and conversation. Because the lessons are shorter than other lessons, you might be worried, but never fear, the short time is packed full of content. We fill the time with listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with a lesson plan that is sure to please.

We strive to foster the children's development through healthy and balanced meals.
We believe that children should understand the cycle of life which allows them to grow, and we strive to teach them about responsible eating habits, so that they will understand that when they hear that they should finish their plate, they will realize that wasting food is wasting life.
