VACATION
COURSE

During the months of January and July, vacation courses are available for students with different proficiency levels from Early Childhood Education to Teens, in the mornings.

The focus of the holiday course is to give students the opportunity to improve English in an intensive but at the same time playful way, with activities prepared from projects developed by themes that generate interest and capable of expanding vocabulary and fluency in the language .

They are ideal classes for students who want to enrich their vocabulary repertoire and improve reading and writing as well as for those who are already in international schools and need to reinforce the essential skills to accompany the school year in these educational institutions.

In addition, the vacation course is also an excellent choice for students entering the school, so they have the opportunity to become familiar with the physical and curricular structure and create links with teachers, students and staff.

These semi-intensive classes are also open to pupils who are not enrolled in our regular programme.
