Overview
Classes are supported by student staff who stay with the students the whole day. These student staff, who are expected to speak only English, strive to keep the English speaking atmosphere of the program, and also act as the bridge between students and teachers to help classes go smoothly. They are mainly high school, university or graduate school students. A counselor, a nurse and our office staff support your child to have a rewarding school life.
