Secondary camps

Grades 6–12 (6ème-terminale)

Students improve or refine their comprehension and communication skills in real-life contexts as well as in the academic setting. They engage in spontaneous interaction and are guided to improve oral or written skills according to their individual needs. In anticipation of their academic or professional plans, high school students practice formal and informal public speaking skills.

Classes offer a balanced English language arts curriculum. Groups are purposefully and coherently mixed for all students to be supported and challenged to reach their full potential in English.

At the beginner stage, students acquire English through continued exposure, learn to understand native speech in natural contexts and to interact in English. Students with intermediate proficiency or above, work from diverse and complex grade-level material to advance their oral and written communication.
