ENGLISH
We support our Best Teaching Practices with one of the best English Programs, which is Cambridge Certification and Cambridge University Press, connecting both lifetime English Acknowledgment around the world with the Certification Exams such as STARTERS, MOVERS, FLYERS, for our initial grades and KET, PET, FCE and CAE, for our higher grades and the daily use and practice of our Cambridge books which compile with the language aims we want our students to acquire throughout all the courses.

You think this was hard? Oh come on this was a piece of pie, for our students in Aristos it really was, as we teach them with love and lots of fun. Teaching is our passion that’s for sure, and that’s what makes our students so grateful and full of joy.
One of our main interests is that our students feel happy and enjoy every one of the aspects in their lessons throughout the development of skills appropriate to their age and level in a warm, loving and personalized environment where the students feels safe, loved, motivated and accepted. Through our methodology we build the important foundations for success in their school life and contribute to develop a healthy self-esteem in order to help them develop and grow in all aspects involved with the language usage.

-We provide development of activities and projects in relation to both American and British culture, where students not only will be able to recognize cultural diversity between both languages and countries, but also will expand their knowledge about the differences that both approaches can offer them in matters of grammar and vocabulary. -Our English program covers an average of 20 hours a week of English classes.
-One of our main aims is to focus on the ability to communicate, providing our students with all the necessary tools to express themselves, supporting their CONFIDENCE when expressing and communicating ideas whether in class or real life situations. To make sure that the following statement fulfills our students’ and the school’s expectations, we have created and implemented for them, our own conversational method, called “CT LOUNGE” an English conversation lounge that helps them hit the bulls eye by prepping them with the right set of skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the new world where they can practice real life scenarios, such as going to an airport, buying things in a store, traveling, writing to foreign friends, reading books, etc., where their communication abilities and skills will be improved by interacting with other students and be given positive feedback.
The main aim for this Conversation Club is to REINFORCE and BUILD our students CONFIDENCE and SECURITY to speak and interact with their classmates and teachers, and also to make sure that they won’t be afraid of speaking in public. Another aim that we take very seriously is to enhance all kinds of speaking interactions, from a speaking presentation in class, reciting a poem, singing a song, giving a speech to talking with a foreign person in a more confident way. All the activities done and created for them inside this club will help them a lot to get better every day and to have more freedom when they express their ideas and improving pronunciation and correct use of the language.
Our Teachers not only count with the domain of the language at the best but they’re also prepared with the greatest pedagogical tools to give and implement in their teaching-learning processes. Our teaching tools are as complete and interactive as possible so as to make every class a fully engaging experience. All of our activities are geared toward maintaining a high academic standard with the intention of letting the student acquire the competences that will prepare him to take on a globalized world in constant technological advance.
Our Teachers’ classes besides being creative, loving and interactive, they’re full spoken in English so our students can get used to listening and learning the appropriate pronunciation of the language from early stages, the use of digital resources is part of our daily life situations and it complements entirely all the abilities taught and learned inside our classrooms.
Our efforts are centered on academic excellence, on the instilment of values and in providing our students with the tools that will equip them to overcome the challenges that lie ahead on their road to personal and professional growth. Aristos is not just a school is a family and an excellent team, and it shows as both teachers English and Spanish work together as parallels to achieve the expected learning objectives of the students.
