Background
Mayco School of English is a Bilingual private school located in La Laguna, north of Tenerife. The school offers classes to Infant, Primary and Secondary students from 6 to 16 years of age. It has 410 students and 40 teachers. Our main aim is to give students the possibility of an immersion in both languages in order to obtain the IGCSEs certificates when they finish the Secondary School. At the age of 15 they take two IGCSE subjects, Global Perspectives and English as a second language and at the age of 16, History, Biology, Maths and Spanish as a first language. Students do the Maths exam in English, in spite of being taught in Spanish as students have the level to do it.
Experience
As we have a group of talented students at school who have been diagnosed, they take part in a project called 'Estalmat' organized by the Educational Authorities. Our school focuses in areas related to Science in Secondary and have participated in different activities obtaining recognition. The Maths teacher gives the classes in Spanish and is well qualified to prepare them in order to take the IGCSE exam in 4º ESO. Students receive classes of Biology , Physics and Chemistry , Technology and ICT in English and the teachers are native speakers and bilingual. We are very interested in participating in ICT projects as students show a great interest on them. They use Chrombooks in some classes and the rest bring their own computers to school.
