We will teach two topics daily in 1.5 hours, spending 40 minutes on each topic with a 10-minute break in between, during which students are welcome to relax and snack.
At home, students will complete simple, daily exercises to enhance their understanding of the materials taught in class. At the end of the 5-day course, supplementary exercises for each topic will be given as a review to consolidate grammatical application. Earlier attendance is encouraged as the summer break can provide more time for students to complete their supplementary homework.
Grammar Boot Camp time-lots will be released before every Summer.
Depending on the number of participants, we will confirm the finalized schedule of your child’s Grammar Summer Boot Camp by June.
Fees for 5-day Grammar Camp : $5,000 per student (3 - 6 students per class)
Private Class : Student can take Grammar Solo Class to cover all the above Grammar course materials at the usual Private Class Fees (since 2010) of $2,000 per 60 minutes, or alternatively add 15 minutes to each DOORS I Reading and Writing class.

On top of learning useful Vocabulary and gaining a better grasp of more challenging phonetic sounds, the aim of the DOORS Vocabulary Program is to encourage active participation in class. Students are expected to react quickly and accurately to earn the highest number of correct answers, as there are rewards for the highest scores at the end of each class. This is especially beneficial to shy children who tend to hide behind their classmates.
Vocabulary Program time-slots will be released in May. There is no need to take V1 to V12 in sequence. Depending on the number of participants, we will confirm your child’s finalized Summer Vocabulary schedule by June.
