What the week looks like

120 minutes a week: dynamic learning + Creative Lab

01

The dynamic learning session

60 minutes with children the same age, up to 6. Songs, movement, stories, games on the interactive whiteboard: the activity changes roughly every 15 minutes, so attention stays high and no one gets bored. No one is ever forced to speak: understanding comes first, and the words follow on their own.

02

The Creative Lab

60 minutes in which English is used for doing real things: cooking, planting, doing yoga, celebrating festivals from around the world. Children aged 3 to 6 together, 10 to 16 per group, with two native-speaker or bilingual teachers: the little ones learn by watching the older ones, the older ones learn to lead. Everyone lives the same adventure, each at their own level.

The second session of the week

The Creative Lab: English you do with your hands.

60 minutes to cook, act, experiment and celebrate in English. For children aged 3 to 6, with native-speaking or bilingual teachers. The second weekly session is included in the pathway.
