Reading/Writing Bootcamp
Grades 1-6 (Fundamentals 1-3)
Through enriching reading material we aim to engage young minds and instill in them a passion for learning. Through immersive-English instruction, our classes help beginner learners develop strong pronunciation, listening, and speaking skills.
What is guided reading and sentence building?
Our Fundamentals program develops the foundation for strong academic writing skills. There are two main areas of focus at the elementary level—guided reading and sentence building.
-
Guided reading is done as a group where students practice reading silently, out loud, and by listening to the teacher and other students. As a class, they discuss texts to develop and enhance comprehension and vocabulary.
-
Sentence building is taught through writing practice, revision, and grammar practice. Students are asked to employ grammar skills organically through their writing. By rewriting sentences edited by their teacher, students are able to target their own individual mistakes and problems unique to their writing experience.

Magic Bone #1 Be Careful What You Sniff For

Session 2 (July 15-26)
Magic Bone #2 Catch That Dog Wave
It’s time for Sparky to go to school—Obedience School—where he’ll learn to sit, heel, come, and stay. But Sparky would rather be anywhere else but school. So what does he do? You guessed it: chomp on his magic bone!Session 3 (July 29 - August 9)
Magic Bone #3 Follow that Furball
Sparky, the cute, loveable sheepdog puppy, is off to Rome! Upon his arrival, he buries his bone and begins to explore the city. He wanders into the Largo di Torre Argentina—the coolest place he’s seen yet. Until he notices … it’s filled with cats! And one of them has his bone!Session 4 (August 12-23)
Magic Bone #4 Nice Snowing You!
Hoping to escape the cold in his backyard, Sparky chomps on his magic bone—only to find himself in snowy Zermatt, Switzerland. He befriends Lena, a Saint Bernard rescue dog with a terrible sense of direction. The two, in search of food, quickly get lost. But Lena and Sparky might just be in the right place at the right time for Lena to complete her first ever rescue mission!

Our classes are all-English, all the time.
Native English-speaking teachers
Our classes are all immersive English-learning environments because our teachers are native English speakers. This allows students to improve their language skills more fluidly and colloquially.
Small class sizes
Through group discourse and interaction with their classmates, students are encouraged to speak up and voice their thoughts and opinions. This cultivates their logical thinking and social skills.
Fostering critical thinking skills
Students are encouraged to express their ideas through question-and-answer sessions and think critically about their arguments. This helps them become independent thinkers and prepares students for more advanced levels of writing.
