Our values

Our school welcomes around 1,300 students each year, but we remain committed to preserving a human scale, allowing for personalised support for every learner.

We also make sure to avoid oversized classes so that our teachers can follow each student individually, in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

In our language courses, our aim is to ensure that learners become quickly functional in real communication and social interaction.

From the very first level we focus on oral expression: encouraging our learners to speak in class and to develop their ability to express themselves and be understood in the target language.                                    

At the same time, we place special emphasis on the essential grammar elements that support both spoken and written communication.
