Our vision is to become globally recognized and known for inspiring all our current and future students to accomplish their personal, professional, and academic goals while becoming global citizens and lifelong learners.
Instructional Approach
Freirean/ participatory approaches, giving students the opportunity to learn English drawn from real life experiences. The goal of this approach is to help students ultimately liberate themselves from social conditions that oppress them.
Differentiated instruction, giving teachers the opportunity to focus on students’ needs, backgrounds, expectations and interests.
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), giving students the opportunity to focus on communicative rather than linguistic competence. In the (CLT) approach, students are strongly encouraged and challenged to practice their English inside and outside of the classroom.
