The camp is held from June to August, the course can be from 1 to 7 weeks (optional). Children are divided into groups according to age and level of language proficiency (each one passes a special test). Classes are held from morning to afternoon, and afternoon is set aside for excursions and extra-curricular life. The curriculum is built around active exercises and tests in the main sections of linguistics:
- Grammar and Vocabulary
- Letter
- Oral speech
- Listening
- Reading.
Much attention is paid to the development of speaking skills, the ability to clearly and articulate their thoughts in English in oral and written form. Fast and successful progress is facilitated by the system of total immersion - children communicate in English from morning to evening in classrooms, on excursions, in residences and at home: this helps them to overcome all the difficulties associated with "living" language and pronunciation.
