Primary English Program

Cana English delivers fun, thematic learning designed to help kids communicate confidently in English. Our mission is to empower students with the tools and skills they need to reach native-level fluency.

Cana English is here to close the gap between the English your child learns in school, and the English that is used everyday by native speakers. Following the International School approach to learning, we give your child the skills and tools they need to communicate confidently with English-speakers. They’ll not only see a boost to classroom grades, but learn to speak, write and engage with English like a native speaker. Under the guidance of native English teachers, we’ll help them learn English for Life.

The curriculum was specially created and developed by native English teachers— themselves alumni of premier international schools and universities like Li Po Chun, Shatin College, South Island, Oxbridge, UCL and Hong Kong University. It was designed to advance English learners by giving them the skills native speakers use to master English.

International School Approach - Kids learn through independence and problem solving over memorisation and spoon-feeding—English skills for life, not just for exams.

Boost Classroom Grades -The curriculum complements in-school learning, moving your child ahead of the pack, boosting ability, grades and fluency.

Fun Thematic Curriculum - Students get away from the usual boring textbooks and instead learn English through activities like solving a mystery or discovering the world. With exciting course topics they’ll always be ready to learn.

Communicate like a Native - Encouraged to speak English with native English tutors from the beginning, kids overcome nervousness and shyness, building confidence in their pronunciation and general speaking.
