Secondary Plus (13-17 years)

Core life skills development

Secondary Plus prepares teenagers for future life challenges (study, work, and life) by developing skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, leadership and problem-solving skills.

Real-world learning

Each module focuses on subjects that are relevant to teenagers and cover real-world topics that affect people on a global scale. E.g. urbanisation, artificial intelligence, gaming, the environment, ethical food and climate change.

Project-based

Students work on a variety of practical and challenging real-world tasks that build up to a final project that has a real-life outcome. E.g. a presentation, fun debates, practice interviews, online research or vlogs.

Independent learning

The British Council teaching approach is different to traditional learning in school. Students are encouraged by our teachers to reflect on the topics discussed in each class and give their own views and opinions.

Students can practise their English on the go or at home using Secondary Online. They have access to a wide range of online resources to enable them to continue learning outside of class time, for example, helpful grammar and vocabulary activities. They receive a personal account when the course starts which means they can keep track of their progress.

Secondary Plus gives your child the chance to build general knowledge through developing a love of literature and being exposed to authentic English through graphic novels of classics.

For our older learners, Upper Secondary Plus shifts the focus to academic and exam skills in order to help your child succeed at university and beyond.

Secondary Plus runs from April to March and is split into two 20-week semesters.

Upper Secondary Plus students also have the chance to enroll in an intensive course which combines two semesters into one.
