SINGLE SHIFT!
Unlike many other schools, which run two or even three shifts a day, SELC is still a single shift school. This means students can study and use the school’s facilities all day and enjoy the unique personalised atmosphere that this timetable allows.
OPTIONAL AFTER CLASS ACTIVITIES
Optional conversation club sessions are offered to all full-time students twice per week. This afternoon club gives students the opportunity to extend and practise their English skills with different teachers and make friends with students from other classes. There is also a variety of teacher-led activities offered on Friday afternoons, such as a Job-Seeking Club and pronunciation workshops. Our teachers also offer some special Friday activities to encourage students to develop their interests in different areas e.g. charcoal drawing and tarot card reading.
