Key for Schools
Get in touch
We are excited that you have considered joining us on this exciting learning journey.
Course Overview
Our KEY for Schools course helps learners focus on life and study skills and equips them with competencies they need to manage their academic and personal lives. Activities are designed to promote independent thought and stimulate discussion. Each unit leads to a project that encourages learner autonomy and provides opportunities for students to practice the four C’s of 21st Century skills: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. The KEY for Schools syllabus aligns with the Cambridge English Qualifications for Schools and students will be ready to sit the A2 KEY for Schools exam by the end of the academic year.

Prerequisites
Before registering for this course, students are required to:
- Take a placement test corresponding to their level.
- Attend an interview session.
- Complete and submit all necessary forms.
These prerequisites ensure that students are appropriately placed and prepared for their educational journey with us.
Educators
Our teachers possess a minimum qualification of a B.A. in English and undergo ongoing training, including programs by the British Council and Cambridge University. The team is carefully selected for high expertise, ensuring excellence. Parents can expect to foster a productive and friendly relationship with their child’s teacher, who keeps them consistently informed and updated.
Method of Assessment
In a fast-paced syllabus with very concrete aims for achievement, recycling and language review are essential. We give great importance to these aspects of language learning through systematic recycling of all core vocabulary and grammar which is revised in a variety of different contexts. Students’ performance is assessed through vocabulary tests, unit tests and progress tests. At the end of the academic year, there is an end-of-year test (TET Together English Test) used to report on the students’ overall progress of the course level. Students will also be prepared for the A2 Cambridge KEY for Schools exam and during the course they will do four mock tests to evaluate their performance and ability in the exam.
At the end of the academic year, students will be awarded a Certificate of Attainment from Together English Language Centre. The TET certificate will be endorsed by our Academic Director.
