ABOUT US
Our programs revolve around an artistic project through which students engage practically with the English language. By giving them ownership of a creative process we create environments where students are motivated to share their ideas with their peers and our instructors. We utilize this desire to communicate to help students improve their English comprehension, vocabulary and oral skills while empowering them in the language
Each year thousands of students in grades 1-12 benefit from our unique approach to language education. Our active and fun programs help students shift their understanding of English as a 'subject' to English as living tool for communicating with others. Teachers tell us that these positive changes in attitude and group dynamics resonate long after our programs end.
We also offer English Project Weeks, Class trips, Workshops, and Blended Learning Programs with Native Speakers in your school. Check out all of our (in-person) school programming here
OUR TEAM
We are an international team of English native speakers, professional language educators and artists, we call ourselves Teaching-Artists. Since 2009, we have been pioneering the role of the Teaching-Artist within the field of Language Education. Our programs bring the art forms and languages we are passionate about into the classroom to inspire students about and through them.
