We are Cambridge English School, enabling a program that integrates internationally recognized materials and certificates and collaborates with Cambridge University on a five-country project to understand how English is learned. In primary, the Power Up series focuses on developing social, emotional, and collaborative skills to complement language learning and to support achieving Cambridge certificates: Starters in third grade, Movers in fourth grade, and KET in sixth grade. This external assessment places students within the CEFR framework with international validity. We have an alliance with International House Mexico to provide teacher professional development to help students reach Cambridge certifications. The program includes a Science English EClub that studies science in English and uses virtual reality to enhance science learning.
