| The Koru class is year one for preschool students beginning our English Language Immersion program. This is a full time course (23 hours per week) We use a song- and story-based approach to introduce language to children in a way that comes naturally at this age. Actions and activities further reinforce learning. The stories are designed to encourage positive attitudes in children such as helping others and sharing. The Koru class is designed to engage and delight young learners of English. |
