Welcome to Kogarah Intensive English Centre
Throughout its 25 year history Kogarah IEC has supported and prepared newly arrived students for the challenging language demands of an Australian High School.
Students are initially assessed and placed in a beginner, intermediate or advanced intensive English language program. Their social emotional and academic needs are constantly monitored and close links are made to keep parents and guardians informed and involved in the student's progress.
All programs focus on high student engagement and high expectation. Program design is directed at achieving enjoyable, challenging, meaningful and effective learning. With active participation of students in their learning, we seek to encourage all students to reach their highest potential and develop as independent, self-disciplined, co-operative learners.
Our approach to discipline is to provide a safe and supportive environment for learning and promote self-respect and respect for others.
Student welfare underpins all programs at the Centre. We strive to ensure that all students feel safe, secure and fully supported at all times accelerating opportunities for students to acquire adequate levels of language proficiency in a relatively short period of time. All activities are designed to promote self-esteem, self-confidence and resilience, all necessary qualities in the preparation of either a junior or senior high school curriculum.
The development of key study skills and attitudes is a crucial part of our educational intention for every student.
