Play = Ikasi · Learning through play
Methodology
Our teaching approach: learning through play, small groups and individual follow-up at Juhego, Irun.
Learning through play
Play = Ikasi. In the early years play is learning: pre-school and primary lessons are built on games, songs and projects where the language is used, not memorised. Nobody drills vocabulary lists: we sing, tell, ask and answer. And that motivation doesn't fade with age — with teens and adults, play becomes challenges, debates and real-life situations. Classes are lively and fun, and each one is adapted to the group in front of us: with such small groups, we can find the best way to reach every student.
Small groups, real levels
Free placement test and small groups — six or seven students at most — by age and actual level. Nobody gets bored because the pace is too slow, and nobody gets lost because it is too fast. If a student needs to change groups, they change: groups serve people, not the other way round.
Individual follow-up
Everybody is a genius — it's written on our wall and we mean it: every student has their own goals and their own path to reach them. Families receive regular progress updates: one report per term and at least one meeting per school year, with the door always open for any question.
Certificates that open doors
As an official Cambridge preparation centre, we steer the English pathway towards recognised certificates — from A2 Key to C2 Proficiency — when the student is ready, without turning lessons into an exam factory. The certificate comes as a natural consequence of communicating well, not the other way round.
Playing is not the opposite of studying: it is the most serious way to learn.
