English Lab
(Ages 5 to 12)
Our two-week English camp provides beginner-level learners with essential English language skills through a balanced mix of academic sessions in the morning and exciting STEM activities in the afternoon.
Ideal for children new to English, building foundational language skills.
The program targets all four key language domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—with instruction personalized to each learner's ability level to ensure effective progress.
At the camp’s conclusion, each child will receive a certificate of participation along with a personalized progress report. This detailed summary, based on the Lesson Rubric table below, highlights their language development achievements—providing valuable insights for parents and future teachers to support ongoing learning.
Please note that English Lab is a 2-week course so you will be enrolling your child for both back-to-back weeks.
