This past July, we partnered with BE Education to offer a 4-week Intensive English Programme for non-native English-speaking children aged 7-13, open to students from China and surrounding areas. The course was a great success, leaving the children and their families inspired and eager for the upcoming academic year.
Taught by one of our Wycombe Abbey Hong Kong teachers, the summer curriculum focused on elevating students’ written and spoken English skills through dynamic, engaging lessons. Building practical language skills also helps bolster students’ confidence – an equally vital component of their development and English-speaking journeys. With class sizes kept small, the programme provided each child with personalised attention and support – a key tenet of the teaching methodologies employed by both Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong and BE Education.
“We were thrilled to collaborate with BE Education to bring this invaluable learning opportunity to students across Hong Kong and China this summer,” said Rob Fox, Headmaster. “At our school, we are always seeking new avenues to help young minds develop their language abilities. I was delighted with the significant improvement the students made over the course of the four weeks.”
Indeed, participants demonstrated impressive progress in their English proficiency. Beyond the academic gains, the children also reported increased confidence and enthusiasm for learning English.
With the summer programme now complete, we’re looking forward to next year’s offering. “The feedback from students and parents has been positive,” added George Loup, BE’s Hong Kong Area Manager. “We’re excited to build on this success and continue empowering young learners to strengthen their English abilities.”
Languages at Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong:
At our school, we place equal emphasis on the development of both English and Mandarin language skills. Our weekly timetable includes the same amount of dedicated instructional time for each language – a key differentiator from many top British schools in Hong Kong.
By devoting 7 periods per week to both English and Mandarin, we aim to ensure our students receive a bilingual education that prepares them for an increasingly globalised world.
In addition to our rigorous language curriculum, we also offer an Intensive English programme aimed at supporting capable students who require additional help strengthening their English skills. During their first 6 months at our school, these students undergo immersive instruction to rapidly develop their English proficiency, aiming to help them seamlessly transition into our mainstream classes thereafter.
