This course is for your child if you:
Our Adventurers programme offers a full curriculum of subjects in classes of up to twelve students.
The medium of instruction is English.
The timetable typically includes the following subjects: This is what the day looks like:
Lessons are cross-curricular. Your child will study a topic or participate in a project that may include science, mathematics, and G
geography. Your child might be in a history lesson whilst developing their drama, design technology, or even geography skills. They will be taught by experienced primary school teachers who know how children learn best.
Students, from beginners to native speakers of English, have enjoyed great success in Adventurers due to its inclusive, nurturing, yet challenging nature.
We see each person as an individual with the potential to develop and to help others grow. We want to help Adventurers to learn how to achieve their personal best.
We encourage students to set targets and keep a diary and folder of their work. Through praise and encouragement, we help our students see how far they have come and how much they can do if they continue to work hard, thus enabling them to succeed in their academic and social lives.
The Personal Best philosophy is shared by all staff of Academic Summer and Academic Juniors, and as a team, we help students achieve their personal best.
CLIL has been described as "a major methodological revolution" in language teaching, and at Academic Juniors, we have responded to the changes and challenges of language learning. Students engage in content that interests them, resulting in an unconscious improvement in their language acquisition. We make learning fun and age-appropriate, which gives their learning a sense of purpose and engages them in a way that rote learning and reciting grammar don't allow.
Content and Language Integrated Learning is based on the 4cs:
At Academic Juniors, you will explore the 4Cs with the guidance of qualified primary school teachers and experienced teachers of English.
The Academic Juniors programme is designed to help students widen their subject knowledge and develop their language skills to enable them to follow a course of academic study delivered in English.
