The school

Lessons |

The basic philosophy of of the school is that, while a precisely defined core program is fundamental to ensuring that the structure of the language is well-instilled, it is also important that each student's course of study be appropriately geared for his or her aptitude, previous experiences, personal interests, and ongoing rate of progress during the course. Consequently, prior to starting classes, a course outline is developed collaboratively by the student, the program director, and the instructors. Each week, the student's progress is evaluated and discussed, and adjustments are made to his or her course outline as necessary.

The pool of the school |
Classes consist of two to five students per instructor, and meet for five hours daily, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 1:10 p.m. with ten-minute breaks on the hour between classes, and a daily lunch break of thirty minutes. Secondly, students may also be enrolled in individual classes, which meet for three hours daily, if their skill level does not coincide with an already-existing group. Finally, individual tutorials may be arranged per students requests.
