Our classes for 8 to 9 years old are designed around a central topic that serves as the foundation for the term. At the same time, we introduce various concepts, letters, silables and numbers tailored to the class’s level. We incorporate songs, writing, reading, crafts, plays, and games to keep our classes engaging and fun for the children.
From day one, we focus on all four areas of language: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience.
