Academies

Academies offer professional tuition in a range of sports, leisure pursuits, creative activities, and academic subjects and are designed to increase students' knowledge, skills, and technique.

Academies, which are optional and take place in the afternoon instead of regular sports and activities, enable students to customize their course and provide the opportunity for them to continue learning outside the classroom in small, supervised groups.

OBJECTIVES

Academies bring many benefits: some stimulate students' creativity, others expand their capacity for reflection, and others help students develop their critical thinking skills. Some academies raise students' fitness levels and physical agility, while others help them improve their self-confidence by challenging them to step outside of their comfort zone.

Every academy, whether it be a sport, creative activity, leisure pursuit, or academic subject, will help students develop their communication skills, confidence in speaking, and fluency.

LEVELS

Academies are available for all levels: Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. Beginners will start with the basics while more advanced students will perfect their technique and skills.

For Academic Academies, a minimum English level of B1 (Intermediate) is required apart from Conversation Confidence, which is designed for students of A1-A2 levels.
