Educational Philosophy
Our hybrid learning format and instructional methodology prepare students for the structure of English-speaking universities. Our students earn and accumulate credit by completing coursework and ongoing assessments. Teachers emphasize inquiry and discussion, encouraging students to think critically, analyze complex ideas, and communicate effectively in English so they are ready for success in a university classroom.
“Our instructors interact with your students personally, using research-based practices to support their unique learning journey.”
