Our Curriculum - - - - - - - - X Our program starts by building a baseline of high frequency English words and simple grammatical constructions. After establishing a foundational level of spoken English fluency, specific skills such as phonics, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are gradually introduced. In advanced courses, students are introduced to advanced academic vocabulary, as well as complex grammatical topics such as the passive voice and nominalization. Your child’s initial course placement is determined by their age and English abilities, in conjunction with their tutor’s recommendation. If your child is a beginner student older than 8 years old, he or she will start with our course, Youth Introduction to English (not included in the above diagram), which covers the equivalent of CEFR Pre-A1, A1, and A2 materials.
