English for entry into international school

Building confidence, communication skills, and readiness for a new academic journey.

These courses are designed for students aged 6–16 who are preparing to join an international school where English is the primary language of instruction. Whether the goal is to meet entry requirements or to integrate more fully into academic and social life, each course is built to support both language development and emotional readiness—so that students arrive feeling prepared, included, and able to thrive.
