Programme Overview 📘

The Explorers & Engagers pathway is designed for curious and ambitious learners preparing for GCSE, IB or A Levels.

Students learn through a thematic, project-based approach that turns London into their classroom. Each week features a different theme, connecting cross-curricular lessons with real-life trips around the city.

Classes are small (maximum 15 students) and led by enthusiastic teachers who specialise in their subjects.

The programme uses the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) method, helping students develop both subject knowledge and English communication skills while building confidence and critical thinking.
