The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (or CEFR) is a document created by the Council of Europe to standardise language teaching and assessment across Europe. It defines six levels of proficiency, ranging from the most basic (A1) to the most advanced (C2), and describes what a student can do at each stage: speaking, listening, reading and writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our school, we organise our courses according to the CEFR, which is our starting point. But we also use the Cambridge exam stages (such as Starters, Movers, Flyers, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE), which align with the European framework levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our curricula are personalized. Although they follow the European standard, we adapt the content, themes and pace to the needs and objectives of our students, whether they are a 6-year-old child, a teenager preparing for the FCE or an adult who wants to travel, change careers or simply communicate better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
