MANY MINDS ONE GOAL

Γιατί η καλή αρχή μετράει!

These days little ones have an increased access and familiarity with technology and through this come into contact with English from a very young age. That's why we are able to introduce them into an English-speaking environment earlier than previous generations. Our High Five course is designed for 4 and 5 year old with age-appropriate activities, song, dance and creative play, all in English, in order to spark in our little ones a love for English and help them become confident in being in an English-speaking environment.

In our Baby Sharks course, first graders acquire their first basic English vocabulary, useful phrases, greetings and classroom language. Since first graders are usually quite overwhelmed from having to learn their native language, its grammar and structure, in a more academic environment at school, we don't want to burden them further with learning to write another language at this point. We have designed the Baby Sharks course with this in mind, so they encounter and acquire elementary English vocabulary and language skills, listening and speaking, through songs, games and crafts. They learn a lot of basic vocabulary and they learn to recognise words as images, without yet focusing on writing and spelling.

The teacher emphasises the correct pronunciation of words and also helps students develop useful classroom skills like paying attention, co-operation with peers, taking turns, respecting others etc. The lesson is a fun, sociable experience where the language is acquired without being taught. This is, according to scientific research, exactly the right way to begin learning a second language, just like we do with our native one!
