This programme suits students who:
- want to stay at their primary school,
- want to build academic English and get to know the American curriculum,
- want an additional certificate when applying to secondary schools.
Prefer to move fully to the American school?
On the Full-Time programme all grade 6-8 learning happens online, in the American system.
