Basic Requirements

     

This new F module demands a lot of work and organization. It also requires the ability to express yourselves well in English, since most of the questions are open-ended.

students must reach an average of 70 by the end of the first semester in YA in order to stay in 5 points. Your parents will be notified in the next parents evening if you do not follow those requirements. The programs for 4 and 5 points are different.

It is nearly impossible to complete the material on your own.

We wish you a lot of luck!

 We hope you will enjoy the new literature program.

 Remember! The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. 
