We are excited to share that ESM will host the English Language Learner (ELL) Programme this summer.
The ESM English Language Programme is designed for students aged 4 to 14 whose first language is not English. The programme is designed to provide students with comprehensive language support tailored to their individual needs. Whether your child is a beginner or looking to further enhance their English skills, our experienced GEMS native English speakers will provide personalized instruction to help them succeed. Through engaging activities, interactive lessons, and immersive experiences, your child will build confidence in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension. They will also learn new grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills appropriate to their level of need and ability.

IMPORTANT SIGN UP DETAILS

In order to provide and collect all the information in a timely manner we require our DAA parents to fill out all fields and information asked of them during sign ups on the ESM portal.
