For students 7-10 years old, our Junior Classes build a solid foundation of literacy. Wednesday classes introduces a wide range of novels, poetry, and debate, while the Saturday program focuses on building the specific reading and writing skills students will need to step into our Intermediate program

Content is engaging and authentic, drawing from a range of informational texts to build knowledge and experience as well as a range of both modern and classic novels and stories from around the world. Instead of grammar worksheets and spelling tests, students use their class time for explicit writing instruction and deep practice, writing in online documents that allow the teacher to give them feedback and correction as they write. With opportunities to publish their work on Kids Get Published, students learn the power of the written word, motivating them to improve and share their voice.

iGCSEs are internationally recognized standard language and literature exams that will allow students to enter high level academic programs in English. Academically rigorous, this is an intensive two year program culminating in a single exam that can unlock doors into specialized high school and university programs.

Students will hone the skills they practiced in our Intermediate program, allowing them to reach for true excellency, academically and personally. As well as providing them with the official certification to make their profile stand out in applications and admissions, students will develop critical writing and communication skills that will serve them in all aspects of their lives, empowering them to reach whatever goals they have set for themselves

For students entering middle school, our Intermediate program builds on the foundation developed in our Junior program, guiding students as they find and use their voice, developing the independence, self advocacy, and confidence they will need to engage with an increasingly connected world

With a wide range of authentic, real world articles, stories, and novels, from important classics to modern award winners, students will engage with a diverse range of perspectives and voices. Students will develop the analytical and critical thinking skills necessary to understand and challenge the ideas they will be immersed in. With a basis of technical proficiency to be able to express their ideas effectively, students will be encouraged to publish their opinions, stories, and articles, as well as enter writing competitions and write letters, using their skills to participate in the world, and step up into the iGCSE program.
