Our teaching and learning approach is centred around Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) which gives a holistic approach to learning. Experts have described CLIL as a significant methodological revolution in language teaching.
According to Coyle (1999), the CLIL curriculum is based on the four Cs:
1. Content
2. Cognition
3. Communication
4. Culture
Join us and unlock the benifits of CLIL:
Enhance your Content knowledge in key curriculum topic areas in your chosen subject areas
Develop your Cognition skills. You'll develop your critical, logical and creative thinking abilities, as well as learn to analyse data, engage in discussions, form your own opinions and collaborate effectively
Work on your Communication skills. You use language to learn whilst learning to use language. You will learn to give a good presentation and write an extended essay, which is essential whatever you study
Understand Culture and your role as a global citizen, your beliefs and values enabling you to develop a reflective knowledge base
You will develop your communicative use of English as an international language and academic language proficiency, whether you are a native or non-native speaker of English.
Be a Leader is an integral part of Academic Summer, offering an enriching blend of the academic and leisure. The two-week course equips you with leadership and teamwork skills in an exciting, enjoyable and educational environment leading to a CPD qualification for your CV. CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development, showing our unwavering commitment to excellence.
Throughout the programme, you'll have the chance to Meet a Leader - accomplished individuals from diverse fields who share their personal journeys to success, inspiring your own dreams. Be a Leader facilitates self-discovery by assessing your skills, through psychometric, aptitude and career tests, resulting in a personalised ‘My Career Choice’ report to guide your future decisions.
Your daily routine includes exploring essential leadership skills such as communication, negotiation, change-management, influence and confidence. These are introduced in morning assemblies and then developed through practical application with your teachers and camp counsellors. The programme seamlessly integrates into your Career Pathway, ensuring you are on the right career track and providing guidance for your future success through workshops, team building and challenges on your afternoon London trips.
