English Literacy Classes at PAV
PAV offers English literacy classes for English-speaking children growing up in a bilingual environment.
For many, it is a chance to build on the English they have learned at home and in previous PAV classes. For others, particularly those returning from an English-speaking country, the classes help them maintain their fluency and confidence.
Classes are small, with a maximum of 10 students per teacher. All our teachers are native English speakers who are qualified and experienced in creating both a friendly and academically stimulating environment. When needed, teachers are supported by classroom and/or reading assistants to ensure each child receives the attention they need to thrive.
Enrolment is on a first-come, first-served basis for children with an age-appropriate level of English. Children will be invited to a short, informal evaluation followed by a brief trial period.
