Lower Secondary English as a Second Language

Developing skills in a second language

This Lower Secondary English as a Second Language course is for children who have not previously been taught in English and whose English is at a basic level. For those who have a working knowledge of English we recommend first language English. If you are in any doubt as to the most suitable course for your child we can offer a test at no charge to help you decide.

At the end of Year 9 of Lower Secondary English you will receive a report on your child’s progress.

Tarun has been doing Year 7 and 8 English, Maths and Science with Wolsey Hall. He is enjoying his courses and loves the flexibility the whole homeschooling program brings. He is able to plan his learning at his own pace, and plan his day well to accommodate his other interests of playing the Violin and Piano, reading and playing games. The online material in terms of textbooks, videos, the course plan and support from his tutors is helping him get past his studies with ease. During the peak Covid times when amazon deliveries were stopped the online virtual library of Wolsey was a boon to him as he loves to read.
