Our philosophy

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Communication - Interaction - Teamwork
...what kind of team are you?

As a basic philosophy, our departments are formed so that there is relative homogeneity. We believe it is important to have a good and friendly relationship between students who start and finish as a group at the higher exam levels.

The classes are assigned to our experienced teaching staff based on the needs of the students and the right "chemistry" between students and teacher.

We differentiate our teaching according to the needs of each student, especially where learning or other difficulties are identified. We work with specialists and in consultation with parents, we adjust our requirements as the difficulty of language learning increases.

Our main aim is that the student should not give up with any difficulty and should be encouraged at every step.

Progress DIGI

Digital classroom

Digital Upgrade for the children of the new era

Students of progress digi also learn Foreign Language remotely via a platform.
With our digital upgrade we offer the possibility of full attendance and completion of the course.
We also implement hybrid teaching, where the student has the possibility to follow from home the lesson that is taking place in the classroom, in case he/she needs to be absent.
All our classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art 9th generation electronic whiteboards.
All our literature is accompanied by excellent quality software & e - books with rich materials and videos for students.
Our teachers are highly qualified and with the use of technology they not only teach the language, but also help to form informed and digitally literate citizens.
