LESSONS
Project-based learning
Project themes have been created in a way that allows students and teachers to choose the direction that best fits their group’s needs and interests.
This means that every group of students will learn something different, and each student receives a personalised learning experience. For each theme, there will be a main question that guides the project, and the students will work together to make a project outcome.
This approach helps students learning faster and more successfully. It also guarantees that students will learn something new every time.
Study Tours
Gain new life experiences
There is no better way to learn about British life and culture than to experience it for yourself. Study tours play an important role in our way of learning. Students will prepare for their tours in class, complete educational activities during their tour, and discuss them in lessons afterwards.
Our study tour locations include some of London’s most famous landmarks, as well as to Windsor Castle, Cambridge, and even Edinburgh. Students will have the chance to choose extra activities to improve their experience.
