Wednesday English Club
Strengthening English language skills
Our full-day Wednesday English Club is ideal for students to immerse themselves regularly in an English environment and build on their language skills.
Children aged 4 to 8 years old (1P-4P in the Swiss school system) who are enrolled in Wednesday morning English lessons at Bell can join our Wednesday afternoon English Club, which runs from 12:15 to 16:45.
After transitioning to the English Club at our Montbrillant Centre, accompanied by our Club Leaders, students will be offered a hot and healthy lunch, followed by outdoor play time. Afternoon activities will include arts and crafts, yoga, dance, music, board games, stories and sports. An afternoon snack is included.
The group includes both native and non-native English speakers, with all activities conducted in English by the Club Leaders.
