  • In an age of automatic spell-checkers, it is still important to learn learn British English accent & correct spelling as very often, meanings of words change due to incorrect spelling, thus leading to miscommunication and misunderstandings.

Reading Comprehension

  • We provide students with a wide range of age-appropriate reading material such as fiction, nonfiction, poetry, news articles, academic and scientific journal extracts, etc. that educates as well as encourages them to critically read a piece of writing.

Creative Communication And Storytelling Skills

  • Children are naturally creative and explorative. Given the right tools and proper guidance, they can learn to hone their skills and develop their creative writing.
  • Under creative writing, we introduce our students to different forms of creative writing which gives them a chance to choose the style they are most comfortable with and build up on that style during the course.
  • Creative writing requires a certain amount of fluency in the language along with a firm understanding of grammar. However, we do encourage our students to write their best and provide feedback on their work to help them improve with each piece they write.
  • We also organise specialised creative writing workshops during the year for students to participate in a more focused session and enhance their writing skills.

Confidence Building

  • Confidence stems from knowledge. When a child is aware that they are doing well and are able to converse without much difficulty, their confidence increases, and they are more likely to speak out in public.

  • Along with acquiring a language, children acquire soft skills such as public speaking, presentation, and objectively communicating arguments.
