Multi Level System
"Why is Exeter Academy the best choice ? It's lesson system allowed me to be at the right level to suit me according to my personal progress." - Eugenia, Switzerland

We offer a unique and flexible approach to language learning. Imagine a school where you can be at one level for speaking and listening, another for reading and writing. That's precisely what we offer - an individually-tailored language course for every student, aimed specifically at you and your unique needs. Come to the school that's best for you. |
 |
Students have three classes per day on the General English programme.
Each of these classes focuses on a different skill and students can be at different levels for each of these skills. We call this the Multi-level system and it is excellent for developing all skills effectively.
For example, if a student has strong speaking skills, they might be at a high level for this class (1330-1500). Or, if they are weaker in grammar, they might be at a lower level for grammar (0900-1030).
This allows us to place each student at the correct level for each skill.
The advantages of this are:
You are at the correct level for each skill
