At KOKOland, we believe that learning English can be an adventure.

Our mission is to guide children and teens aged 1 to 18 on a continuous, stimulating and creative pathway, built on play, hands-on labs, conversation and real experiences.

Since 2022, a pathway that grows with children and teens.

Our goal: young people who are

  • bilingual
  • confident
  • curious
  • ready to discover the world

Our Koko

Our Koko is inspired by a true story: that of Koko the gorilla, who learned hundreds of signs in American Sign Language (ASL) with researcher Francine «Penny» Patterson, eventually using them to express emotions and thoughts. It's a story that teaches the value of curiosity, empathy and connection. At KOKOland, Koko joins children and teens in every activity and is the symbol of English, creativity and fun: proof that learning can be fun, stimulating and full of surprises.

  • empathy
  • connection

Why Choose Us

From sensory play for the youngest, with mum or dad in the classroom, to the more analytical approach of the teenage years: every stage of the pathway is designed to build age-appropriate skills.

All through an immersive method that makes learning the language feel natural.

1–6

Early years

We start at age 1 with KOKO Babies: songs, movement and sensory play, with mum or dad in the classroom. With KOKO Stars, from age 3 to 6, we focus on listening comprehension and speaking.

Primary school

With KOKO Primary we build vocabulary and reading and writing skills, letting grammar emerge as a natural result of the pathway. From age 7, the first Cambridge exams begin.

The method

At KOKOland, English is a daily experience that grows alongside children and teens. We follow the natural stages of language learning: first listening and comprehension, then speaking, and finally reading and writing, in a spontaneous, progressive way.

  2. 2 · then

  3. 3 · finally

    reading and writing

The pathway brings together all four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) through dynamic learning, where the activity changes roughly every 15 minutes, plus a weekly Creative Lab in English for KOKO Stars and KOKO Primary.

Discover the Creative Lab

Through hands-on labs, projects and activities inspired by different cultures, students learn to communicate for real. English becomes part of their lives: a natural way to express themselves, open up to the world and build solid foundations for the future.
