Children as young as 5.5 years old enter a golden stage for language acquisition. This is the ideal time for them to begin their journey of learning English — the international language that opens the door to a wider world.
The AP Children’s English Program (Aston Primary), designed for learners aged 5.5 to 11, follows the CEFR framework from Pre-A1 to A2. It helps children build a strong English foundation and develop all four core skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
The curriculum is closely connected to real life and enriched with images, videos, and songs, creating an engaging and effective learning experience. With diverse, age-appropriate topics, children learn English with excitement and gain confidence in communicating in various situations.
At the end of each unit, students participate in practical project work to reinforce knowledge while developing creativity and critical thinking. Alongside English learning, children are also equipped with essential soft skills such as communication, presentation, teamwork, and problem-solving — key competencies for success in the 21st century — thoughtfully integrated into classroom activities.
