The program is focused on language courses, cultural trips and visits to attractions. . Students welcomed to our programs as young as 7 years old and as old as 17. Primary and Junior program is build having in mind students ages 7-11 (primary) and 12-13 (juniors)  and Senior program is build having in mind students ages 14-17. The programs we offer are all inclusive in nature and we take care of the students from the moment they land at the airport to the moment they leave the city. 

We offer the programs in different formats. For our summer camps, we offer residential/live-on-campus option for all ages,  and day only options for those that arrange their own accommodation or have family in the city. We also offer a limited Host Family option for seniors ages 15 or older. 

Language component for seniors (14-17)

Our English program is composed of 20 lessons of language instruction per week. All our teachers are certified to teach English in Canada. Our average class size of regular classes is of 15 students.  There are 5 different levels of English classes in our program from beginner to advanced.

All students are required to enter a test the first Monday of their stay with us. The test is both written and spoken. When assigning students to their level we take into consideration three main criteria: English proficiency, nationality and age.

The program consists of 4 classes a day from Monday to Friday. The first 3 regular classes focus on grammar, listening/speaking and reading/writing. The 4th class is an elective class that focuses more on the practical side of the language. The classes offered at the program are IELTS, Journalism and Debate Clubs 

IELTS

Appropriate for students of a higher level that in the near future they are looking to enroll may be in an English speaking university or College. As all the elective courses they will run for one class a day, from Monday to Friday

Journalism

Students will get to learn the basics of writing articles and the appropriate way to do that. At the program we have a weekly newsletter that is distributed to students, parents and agencies with schedules, stories from students etc. They will be working on a daily basis to do that, together with their teacher.

Debates 

These are organized debates based on interesting topics like the UN sustainable goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals). It gets student to think, organize, talk and debate. An amazing way to practice English
