Enlightened Education School Philosophy: 
This is a community based English training school owned and operated by an American English teacher. We focus primarily on oral language ability, and avoid teaching to the public school exams. Approximately 95% of our students live in our community, and are able to walk to our school, rather than drive or take public transportation. Students are aged 3 to 12, with each class tailored to one age group. We currently have about 120 students. They attend the same kindergarten and primary school, the parents are friends with each other, and a true feeling of community is present. The classes are warm and intimate, with only ten children per class. We use songs, cooperative games, short videos, flashcards, dance, handcrafts, coloring, and total physical response (TPR) to impart understanding of vocabulary and grammar. We provide an English only environment in which the students are engaged and interested, with the goal of developing a love for speaking English. They learn to cooperate with one another and to support one another in the learning process. We avoid competitive games in favor of more engaging activities and interactive games that require the participation of all the students at once.
