Welcome to our Native Speaker Programme, a cherished part of our Institute for over 50 years. This unique programme offers specialised English classes for children who speak English at home or have lived in English-speaking environments. Our main goal is to strengthen each student’s literacy skills and foster a lifelong love for and pride in the English language.

If so, our programme is perfect for them! We bring together children from diverse backgrounds, reflecting the multicultural character of our Institute. This creates an inclusive environment where students can grow both linguistically and socially.
Our Native Speaker Programme consists of six levels, beginning with NSP (for children in preschool / prodemotiki) and continuing through NS1 to NS5, with the possibility of NS6.
All instruction is exclusively in English, utilising UK-published books and materials closely aligned with the National Literacy Strategy in England.
Each stage of our programme focuses on building strong reading comprehension, writing fluency, and spoken accuracy, while nurturing creativity and confidence. Students progress from learning how to write and sound out words to producing coherent and compelling paragraphs, stories, and essays.
Our Native Speaker teachers are all qualified and experienced educators who understand the needs of bilingual and multilingual learners. Through engaging lessons that include project work, guided reading and real-life applications, they inspire students to take pride in their language and culture.

For more than half a century, our Native Speaker Programme has upheld a tradition of excellence in English education. Rooted in expertise and guided by care, it continues to provide generations of students with a rich and rewarding literacy experience that celebrates both their individuality and their connection to the English language.
