The Teacher’s Take

"The activities are intriguing and full of possibilities, English learners of all levels are able to function at whatever level they are at. And the many different students mean the environment provides many encouraging models of English use. No judgement about English level, just active use of English throughout the day in a fun, social environment.

Science gives us one of the best concrete laboratories where visible and physical actions correspond with new language. Familiar objects and situations that students know in their mother tongue provide easy "hooks" for the new language to attach to."

Even the most shy or beginner students are encouraged to participate and above all: we put our hands on materials!”

— Karen KYKER | Teacher at JMAcademy

The staff

The activities are all run by mother tongue English speakers.

All of the Summer camp teachers are Anglo-Saxon and teachers at Ecole Jeannine Manuel or its Afterschool program. They have to fulfill the same requirements with regards to diplomas, visa and criminal record as any teacher employed by the school.

The Counselors are university students and generally Ecole Jeannine Manuel alumni. Each group of children has its counselor who goes from activity to activity with them and remain their reference person throughout their time at Summer Camp .
