Before the beginning of the training, all students write a special test that will determine their level of knowledge and distribute them to differentiated groups - in a group whose level of knowledge is approximately the same, educational progress is much faster. The training classes are small, they include 6-12 people - this gives the teacher the opportunity to give each student maximum attention, carefully monitor personal academic successes and achievements. Each teacher is a natural native speaker, an experienced and qualified professional.

Review about Village camps Boston Summer Kids Camp
I think that if you want studying somewhere in the USA, it’s Boston. The whole city is made for students: if not a school, then a preparatory college, if not an English course, so a university. Half of the city companies take Bachelor students for internships, half of the local shops and restaurants glue stickers on the door, “show student id card and get a discount,” and the discounts are very good. Even many parties and events in the city are made for students and young people!
Of course, I was not in the camp for 2 weeks, but now I really want to study here.
