LESSONS
Project-based learning
Project themes have been intentionally designed for students and teachers to take their project in a direction that best meets the group’s needs and motivations.
This means that every group of students will learn something different and each student receives a personalised learning experience. Each theme will have a central guiding question that focuses the project and students work collaboratively towards the production of a tangible project outcome.
This approach helps students learning faster and more successfully. It also guarantees that students will learn something new every time.
ACTIVITIES
Learn by doing
The activity programme is an integral part of the course and allows students to practise what they have learnt and develop a natural, fluent use of the language. Our afternoon electives are designed to improve communication and confidence while developing academic, creative and active skills.
All Autumn Explorer students will also enjoy a wide variety of whole-school activities, such as games, competitions, discos and shows.
STUDY TOURS
Gain new life experiences
There is no better way to learn about British life and culture than to experience it for yourself. Study tours also play an important role in our learning approach. Students prepare for their study tour in class and have educational tasks to complete during their trip, this is then discussed in lessons afterwards.
They will have three-full day study tours to UK destinations, every two weeks.
Enjoy study tours to exciting attractions like:

The London Eye is an iconic part of London’s skyline and has been offering guests a new panoramic view of London.
