What each subject covers

Speaking 1 (1:1)Pictures and stories to get them talking. Speaking, even with mistakes, comes first.
Speaking 2 (1:1)Practice at stringing their own thoughts together into sentences.
Reading (1:1)They read material suited to their age and level, then put it back into their own words.
Vocabulary (1:1)Starting with the words they actually use at school and in daily life.
Writing (1:1)From one sentence to one paragraph, slowly.
Listening (group)Listening and answering alongside children of the same age.
Grammar (group)Learned inside sentences rather than memorised as rules.
Pronunciation (group)Sounds and stress — the part that comes fastest the younger they are.
Mandatory English Only Policy

An English-Only Policy applies across the campus. Break it and you pick up one or two hours of extra work in the business centre.

Frequently asked

Can I send my child on their own?

New Clark has not opened yet, so the rule on guardians for under-age students is not settled. At the Baguio campus, under 15s cannot come without a guardian. If you are planning New Clark dates, please check with us first.

My child cannot say a word of English — is that all right?

That is fine. We take children from CEFR A1, and with 5 periods of 1:1 there is little time spent sitting through something they cannot follow.

What is EOP?

It is the rule that only English is spoken on campus. Break it and you do 1–2 hours of extra work in the Business Center. Less a punishment than a way of stopping students from the same country grouping together and living in their own language.
