London Academic Day Program, based in central London, is a day-only summer programme, integrating English language learning with UK national curriculums. It is ideal for young students who live in London or are holidaying with their parents.
This is a Day Only programme from Monday to Friday. Students will study 15 hours per week in the mornings taught by experienced primary teachers, and then enjoy a trip or leisure activity in the afternoons before going home at 18.00.
The course covers full subjects of primary school curriculum, including English, Applied Maths, Science, Social Studies and the Arts. Lessons are cross-curricular, project-based and centred around a weekly theme, where students will study a topic or participate in a project which combines different subjects. Students are assessed on academic performance and attitude towards learning in lessons and this assessment is documented in the student’s weekly report.
The course integrates English language learning and academic subject study through Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), an European ground-breaking teaching method for learning subject content through a foreign language. The core curriculum of this effective dual learning is based on the 4Cs – Content, Cognition, Communication and Culture.
In the afternoons students will have an exciting adventure in London, exploring the city through engaging trips that bring their morning lessons to life.
