Native Level English Speaker (Ages 8-11)
Strengthening English language skills
Our Native Level English Speaker programme is designed for young learners aged 8 to 11 years old and who speak English at home – as a first or second language.
Together we will support your child to develop a strong foundation of language and communication skills, with an emphasis on their writing capabilities for multiple purposes.
This programme is also a perfect supplement to the needs of children who may usually be studying in French; broadening their capabilities and capacity for learning by immersing them in an English-medium learning environment.
