The programme’s main focus is development of language and skills through content driven class projects. Learners develop their English through lessons, activities and excursions based around a project, for example ‘The World of Water’, ‘Culture’, 'Food and Drink' etc. Learning is often ‘task-based’, learners practice and develop their language through tasks such as conducting surveys and writing reports. The programme includes a sports programme and a 'Discover London' excursion.
The main focus of the programme is General English using humanistic, communicative methods. As well as General English, learners have opportunities to develop English Through Other Subjects. To compliment these classes, learners are offered English through other subjects and workshops based on Environmental Literacy, Culture, London Living etc. This offers learners an alternative stimulus through which to learn. The programme also offers one ‘Discover London’ experience per week. ‘Discover London ’ is an integrated academic excursion programme consisting of preparation, excursion and follow up. A number of sports options are available, as are optional after school and weekend events.
