Cheltenham ACE
- Age - from 10 to 17 years,
- The training period is 2 weeks.
The Cheltenham ACE course divides students into two groups according to their level of initial knowledge in English, and then each of the groups is given a topic for research.
- Group level A1-B1 – Communications,
- Group level B2-C2 - Leadership.
The program includes classes in which students will gain applied skills: the ability to communicate, work in a team, analyze, draw conclusions and discuss. They are divided into three modules, each of which leads the student to a successful completion of their studies.
- The first module includes an in-depth study of the topic and its collusive discussion. Students share their opinions, ideas, and approaches to solving the problem under the guidance of qualified educators who gently guide them and give advice.
- The second module is to draw up an action plan. Students present the problem as real and try to solve it in successive stages, collecting them into a global plan. This stage is strongly associated with communication skills, as students do not conduct research alone, but as a team.
- In the third module, students of the course are preparing to submit a presentation to the commission, which will fully describe the work on the topic. It includes all stages: from discussions and debates to the end point of solving the problem.
Experienced teachers help children adapt, communicate with each other, build debates in an environmentally friendly way and get excellent results at every stage.
The Cheltenham ACE course takes place in the spring. It includes two weeks of training sessions, a variety of activities and field trips, an exciting experience of living in a boarding house with foreign students from a dozen countries.
