Blue Sky Education’s Curriculum (Beginner Students)
This English as a Second Language curriculum was designed by experienced teachers specifically for beginner students. It focuses on vocabulary and phases, and is presented in a traditional PPT lesson format.
Journeys from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (Intermediate and Advanced Students)
This is an established English Language Arts curriculum, used by many American schools. It provides an instructional system for reading literature and informational texts, for acquiring foundational skills and for developing mastery of speaking, listening and writing.
Book Study for Children
Together the teacher and student will select a book to read. A set amount of reading will be done independently each week. Depending on the student’s needs, we will use our class time to preview the upcoming chapters, discuss the most recently read part of the book, answer comprehension questions and revisit portions of the text that the student found difficult. A writing component can also be added to these classes.
Conversational Practice for Children or Adults
This class offers the most flexibility, as the topic is selected by the student and parents. Whether a child wants to discuss upcoming holiday plans, needs help with his or her English homework or simply wants to learn how to speak about something in the grammatically correct way, this class can help. This class can also serve as practice to help adults who may not feel confident in their own English abilities.
