We are a different language school. Our school does not have a physycal address in the sense that lessons dont take place at the same classroom everyday. Instead, we teach at selected locations throughout Playa del Carmen to make teaching more interactive. We did this after years of asking what our students wanted and finding out that traditional teaching (classroom and blackboard) is something they can experience anywhere, even in their home country, so why would they fly all the way here? Everything is professionally organized and we follow standards of reference as well. To give you an idea, for the 20 hour per week course, an example of a weekly schedule would be:
- Monday: We meet at 9,15am at the school meeting point. After taking the placement test, students are placed in different levels. We have grammar and vocabulary/ reading class in a local spot.
- Tuesday: We have class in a traditional Mayan cave known as cenote.
- Wednesday: We have normal class in a different local spot by the beach.
- Thursday: We will have part of the class in a local market, where students will learn about food, ingredients and how to shop themselves, then well move to a shopping centre where they will use part of the vocabulary they have learned to shop (in simulation).
- Friday: We will have an interactive quiz and learning activity where students will go to different locations in the city and perform different tasks. We will additionally have grammar in a local spot. Students might also work on a presentation for creating a new business and business plan, while being separated in teams.Locations will depend on weather and mobility factors and vary from one classlevel to the other.
