Saturday Program

October 7, 2023 - May 25, 2024

All Saturday classes integrate the use of English in interactive and engaging ways. Classes consist of 2.5 hours of daily academic English instruction and 1 hour of activities in which teachers integrate activities where English is the main language of communication  (Sports, and Video recording using iPads). Students also have a mid-morning break of 30 minutes where they go outdoors to eat their snacks and socialize. In general, the schedule for Saturday classes is as follows with 5 periods of 40 minutes each.

CLASS GROUPING FOR INSTRUCTION

Students are assigned to their classes according to their age and level of English proficiency. We administer a language level test on the first day of classes for students ages 7 and older to evaluate efficiently and effectively the level of students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency in English. Students 6 years and younger are generally placed into classes by age, except in special circumstances in which a significant difference exists between the language level of the child and his/her peers.
