Academies offer professional tuition in a range of sports, leisure pursuits, creative
activities and academic subjects and are designed to increase students’ skills,
technique and knowledge.
Academies, which are optional, enable students to customise their course and provide
the opportunity to carry on learning outside the classroom in small, supervised groups.
Academies can bring many benefits: some stimulate students’ creativity, others
expand their capacity for reflection and others help students to develop their
critical thinking skills. Some raise students’ fitness levels and ability, while others
help students to improve their self-confidence by challenging them to step outside
of their comfort zone.
Every academy, whether it be a sport, creative activity, leisure pursuit or academic
subject will help students to develop their communication skills, confidence in
speaking and fluency.
Academies are available for all levels: Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate and
Advanced. Beginners will start with the basics while advanced students will
perfect their technique and skills.
Some academies offer a certified award or internationally recognised qualification
upon completion.
