About Us

Our Mission

To empower students with English language tools to allow them the freedom to explore their own paths of fulfillment and development . . . whatever they may be.

Our Curriculum

At Flamingo English, our curriculum covers the current English Language Syllabus of the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Your child will be taught Conversation Skills, along with Creative Writing/Composition Skills, Reading and Listening Comprehension, Phonics and Pronunciation, Grammar and Vocabulary, which all come together to lay the language foundation.  Our Young Children’s language Programs build up your child's Vocabulary and Grammar foundation so that he is able to express himself more clearly with confidence.  As well, these programs specifically develop and practice reading skills.  Our Children’s Programs expand to more advanced Language by introducing Text Types and encouraging students to use their English to explore themes i.e. Science Fiction, Mythology, History, and so on.  Courses at these levels are active and focus on Activities and Projects requiring both independent work and group interaction.  Teen’s Programs represent the consolidation and final expansion parts of the program.  Students master the main text type styles, read literature competently, practise debate and focus on how to improve their ability to persuade their opposition.  Students at all levels are given plenty of opportunity to develop language skills . . . for life.

Our Method

Children are taught through a lively, integrated teaching approach which gives your child plenty of ‘hands- on’ learning opportunities. Oral language, games, discussions, project work, regular creative writing, etc., all encourage students to develop practical skills. In addition, each child is placed on an individual Reading Program and progress is monitored by the teacher.  Regular testing and assessments are done and Progress Reports are provided at the end of each term and Parents are encouraged to meet with teachers on Parent-Teacher Days.  Certificates are given for successful completion of each level.

Our Teachers

Our dedicated teachers are carefully selected not only for their English Language teaching qualifications and experience, but also for their warm and caring approach towards children.

Our Facility

Our safe, clean, fully air conditioned classes have been specifically designed for children. Our library is well stocked with a vast assortment of quality books imported from abroad, suitable for varying reading levels.  “English-only” is encouraged throughout our facility to provide your child with plenty of opportunity to practice their skills in practical situations.

Our Schedule

Our schedule closely follows the school calendar.  Holidays also generally correspond to the Indonesian school calendar.  We run four ten-week terms per year with new class levels beginning in either January or July.  Most levels run for 2 terms that may be completed over a 6-month period.  New students are accepted at the beginning of a term only.

Student Placement and Registration

For Young Children’s classes (4-7 years old), all student placements are initially done by the student’s age and level at school.  Students are then given a Trial Class where the teacher will place the student based on their ability in the class.  Students at these levels do not need to do a written Placement Test or have an interview.

For Children’s Classes (7-13 years old) and Teen’s Classes (13-18 years old), all students must complete a free Placement Test and have an interview to determine their initial Placement.  After this, students will then have a free Trial class.  There is no charge for Placement Testing, Interviewing or the Trial Class.

For students interested in enrolling in our TOEFL iBT® Preparation Course, students must take a Prediction Test to determine whether they may qualify to take the course and to determine their various skills.  There is a charge for this test and the test must be done by appointment only. 

For program information or to schedule a Placement Test or Prediction Test, please feel free to call one of our Student Services Representatives for further information.
