Philinter’s evening program is mandatory for 2 hours after school, and is intended for Spartan program students. The content of the evening program varies depending on the season, so it is updated regularly.

The contents for March 2024 are as follows.

We had a brief interview with the teachers who run the evening program

Teacher Nes (IELTS Mission) :
“The evening program for IELTS mission classes is designed to meet students’ immediate needs with a focus on interactive learning activities. Lectures are supplemented with activities to enhance learning, and regular discussions provide tips and techniques for improving the four key skills. The program targets commonly misunderstood areas of the IELTS exam to ensure students are well-prepared. The emphasis is on correcting mistakes and providing guidance through monitored assignments and class preparations. Despite the two-hour duration, students benefit from in-class monitoring and teacher support, ensuring they never feel alone in their studies.”

Teacher Maru (Review):
“Review sessions reinforce previous learning, enabling students to apply knowledge effectively, covering basic and complex English topics, enhancing communication skills through speaking activities, introducing new topics regularly, providing dedicated time for test preparation, reviewing grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, offering personalized assistance to address individual challenges, and allowing for independent study, facilitating advanced lesson preparation.”

Our latest class schedule is as follows:

•  General class schedule: Take a placement test and orientation on Monday, and participate in regular classes starting on Tuesday morning. Receive your class schedule from the admin office at 8:00 A.M on Tuesday. Please refer to the course summary for class organization.
• 1, 2 week short-term students: Participate in regular classes starting at 8:50 AM. An admission test is conducted online before admission, so the class schedule is prepared in advance before the student arrives at school.
• Group classes are regularly reorganized: Small group and big group classes are held regularly. Students can get information about new class openings and sign up for classes if it is a subject they are interested in.
• Change of class: Class and teacher changes are possible on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, new students can change classes/instructors at any time for two weeks after admission.
•  Teacher Reservation: If you want to participate in a specific teacher’s class, apply to the scheduler in the office. If a student cannot change classes immediately, he or she can make a teacher reservation.
• If the student’s level is very low: 101+ or 101 is a very low level and cannot take group classes. Therefore, for a limited time, we are offering one-on-one classes instead of group classes. 2 hours of group instruction is considered as 1 hour of one-on-one instruction.
•  Additional classes: You can apply at the admin office. The amount varies depending on the content and type of class.

Short-Term Study Abroad Programs (1-2 Weeks)

Philinter Academy has a particularly high proportion of short-term international students due to its location near Cebu-Mactan International Airport. We have

extensive experience in short-term study abroad, and have deep know-how in managing textbooks and organizing classes for students.

If you are studying abroad for one or two weeks, it is important to get the most out of your study experience in a short period of time.

These guidelines aim to ensure that short-term study abroad students receive comprehensive and meaningful educational experience during their brief stay.

Kindly refer to the following guidelines:

1. Most courses run by Philinter Academy are available for one- or two-week registrations. Therefore, these guidelines apply to most of our courses.

1. Students are required to take an online placement test before their arrival. Regular classes start on Monday morning. Additionally, a brief orientation will be conducted on Monday evening to familiarize students with the program, facilities, and important information.

3. Philinter managers should check the number of national holidays occurring during the study abroad period and approve the number of regular classes.

4. You can choose between dormitory and AZON CONDO, which are external accommodations. Since Azon Condo is not subject to school regulations, it is recommended for those who prefer free personal time after school.

5. If there are national holidays during the study abroad period, make-up classes will be arranged as follows:

• If there is only one national holiday, make-up classes will be scheduled after dinner over several days.
• If there is a 2-day national holiday, one make-up class will be scheduled on the national holiday itself and another make-up class will be scheduled after dinner on a weekday.
• In the event of national holidays for more than 2 days, admission to make-up classes may be denied depending on school circumstances.
• Make-up classes are conducted on a one-on-one class only.
• Make-up classes are not provided for group classes.
• The teacher assigned to the make-up class must be the same as the regular class teacher.

6. If you want to study hard during the year-end and New Year holidays (or Golden Week period), we recommend the ‘1 OR 2 WEEKS PROGRAM FOR NEW YEAR’, which holds classes until Saturday.

7. From the 3-week study abroad, a placement test will be conducted on Monday morning, and there will be an orientation in the afternoon. Regular classes begin on Tuesday morning.

These are the guidelines for juniors and families studying abroad. They contain information on class and curriculum management, teacher changes, and textbooks, as well as tips for quickly adapting to juniors.
