At the same time, we consult and coordinate with the English departments of the school and with the Cambridge extracurricular teachers.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CAMBRIDGE CLASSES

OBJECTIVE
To obtain the highest international qualification to which each person can aspire before leaving URKIDE.

SACRIFICE
Passing the Key, Preliminary, FCE, CAE or CPE requires a high level of self-discipline and sacrifice on the part of the students. All students will be given periodic homework to do. They also have answer material to work on outside of class, which will be checked by the teachers. This effort is recognized with the diploma in hand, which is not easy. The satisfaction of passing is largely a reflection of the student’s merits.

RESPONSIBILITY
amount of individual study material should be completed. If these materials are not used, the individual potential is not used to the fullest.

MATURITY
The Key, Preliminary, FCE and CAE students at the school are quite young, and the contents require a maturity that corresponds in principle to an older age. We ask this maturity effort from the groups.

RESPECT
Also within the framework of the school’s principles we ask for respect towards the objectives of the courses and towards the others in the group. We would like to make it very clear that these are not English reinforcement courses; they involve a fairly strong pace. If anyone demonstrates a lack of effort, pace, or respect we will be forced to question their continuation in the group.

PROGRESS
We send reports each trimester noting the days someone has missed class, and generally any anomalies or observations needed.

THE FINAL OBJECTIVE
From classes, and before registration for the summer we do mock tests. Since the registration is about 3 months before the dates of the real tests, it is understood that the recommendations of the teachers for a possible pass are based on a calculation linked to the student’s knowledge (especially considering that there are vacations in between). The teachers’ recommendations do not imply any obligation to take any degree. Repeating a course will not be allowed and continuation will be evaluated in the last evaluation. Everyone is free to do as he/she sees fit. We guide, but we do not decide.

COMMUNICATION
We want communication to be as fluid and pleasant as possible. Any suggestions, observations, questions or comments from parents or students can be sent to Pablo Ruiz, or to the teacher of the group.
