Starting in January 2024, we will implement some changes to our class schedules, and there may be tuition adjustments for specific courses.

Here are the key changes:

1. One-on-One Class Reduction: In General ESL and Junior ESL (3 courses), there will be a reduction of one hour in one-on-one classes, with a one-hour increase in small group classes.

2. Smaller Group Class: We are reducing the number of students in small group classes to approximately 3 to 5 individuals. This change aims to enhance the dynamism of speaking and related curriculum.

3. New Light ESL Course: We are introducing a new course – Light ESL, offering 5 hours of classes per day. This course is recommended for those who prefer a more focused and intimate learning experience.

4. Tuition Adjustment: While the tuition for most courses in 2024 will remain consistent with 2023 rates, there will be tuition increases for junior courses (Junior ESL, Junior IELTS, Primary English), and IELTS Guarantee courses.

5. Transitional Rate: If you enroll by December 2023 and commence your studies at Philinter Academy by the end of May 2024, you will be eligible for the current tuition fee before the increase, ensuring that you benefit from the existing tuition rate.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation.

We’re thrilled to introduce our all-new 5-hour daily Light ESL course, designed specifically on speaking proficiency. Despite the relatively short 5-hour daily schedule (consisting of 3 hours of one-on-one instruction and 2 hours of small group learning), this curriculum is customized to enhance conversational skills.

The Light ESL program is designed for people who want to balance their study time with their personal lives. It’s especially recommended for those 50 years old or older and parents who want to make the most of their time studying abroad.

Registration for this exciting course opens on November 1, 2023.

To help students improve their attendance and successfully complete the course, mandatory self-study sessions will be enforced from 10 AM to 3 PM.

This requirement applies to the following categories of students:

• Students with (2) two absences in a week
• Students displaying poor academic attitude
• Students whose level/score shows no improvement
• Students who violate school regulations

These mandatory self-study sessions will be supervised by the student staff members assigned to work on that particular day. Student participation is essential to help them progress academically and maintain a positive learning environment.

The purpose of mandatory self-study sessions is to enhance academic achievement, instill discipline, improve behavior and attitude, provide support to struggling students, and create a positive and conducive learning environment.
