At this early age children usually make their first steps in learning a new language. We are completely aware of how important it is for young learners to create a positive attitude and to build up confidence. We use a variety of activities which help our students memorize and understand the language easily and naturally. English is spoken the majority of the time by experienced Bulgarian teachers and native speakers. The lessons are designed according to age and level and use a lot of images, rhymes, music, hands-on projects, videos, all of which engage kids’ attention. The children are concentrated and feel motivated.

Children study the language with the help of a new program for early learners – Backpack. The books are interactive and integrate the four skills – listening, reading, grammar and writing. The main focus is on practical skills.

The themes covered are: 

• school
• family
• home
• people /parts of the body, clothes, appearance, jobs, leisure activities etc./
• animals
• celebrations
• my town
• food
• health
• environment
• …and more!

Thinking skills:

• understanding meaning from the context
• making associations
• evaluating
• identifying main ideas and details
• comparing and contrasting
• making predictions
• drawing conclusions
• analyzing
• summarizing
• …and more!

Language objectives:

From first to fourth grade the goal is to build a solid base of the language. The kids learn the basic tenses:

• Present Simple tense – I go to school every day.
• Present Continuous Tense – I am going to school now
• Past Simple Tense – I went to school yesterday.
• Future Simple Tense – I will go to school tomorrow.
• Future Tense with Going to for intentions- I am going to do my homework on Sunday

Other grammar structures covered are:

• There is/there are.

• Plurals – boy-boys, child-children.
• Quantifiers /some, any, many, much, etc./
• Imperatives- Wash your hands, Don’t be late, etc.
