English for Children
At The English School, your child will develop their English skills in an environment specifically created to be fun and stress free, and where learning is key!
We ensure that each child is given the encouragement they need to progress, and the room they need to learn at their own pace.
Small classes ensure that each child receives the one-to-one support they need to further their language development.
