ABC Pathways School Summer Programmes – FAQ:
1. What's the difference between ABC's summer English courses and ordinary children's summer classes?
Taught by professional native teachers
- ABC has a teaching team of over 150 members. All English teachers are native speakers, with English as their mother tongue.
- The teaching team members have all received teacher training such as TEFL/TESOL or hold a degree or above, and they have rich teaching experience.
- After joining ABC, all teachers must first receive formal training from the teaching directors or the head teachers. This includes internal training on Cambridge English, phonics, classroom management, teaching theories, etc. They can only start teaching after reaching the specified level.
- Moreover, the ABC summer English courses are taught entirely in English, aiming to let children have a fulfilling summer vacation and achieve the best learning results in an immersive English-learning experience.
6 Weeks = 7.5 Months Regular Course Progress
- The ABC Summer English Course English courses are intensive programmes. There are classes 5 days a week. 6 weeks of study is equivalent to the content of 7.5 months of regular courses. Students absorb knowledge daily, which greatly expands the English language context and improves progress and effectiveness.
Diverse Course Themes
- ABC offers the widest selection of summer English courses in Hong Kong, including Read4Fun Phonics, Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Summer Camp, Cambridge Starters Test Preparation, Kindergarten/Primary Preparation, Science, etc., to comprehensively boost students’ all-round English proficiency.
- ABC education consultants will also help parents create personalised summer learning plans based on children’s interests, abilities, and learning progress.
The “Happy School” teaching method: “Fun” and “High Effectiveness”
- The ABC Summer English Courses adopt an interactive teaching approach that combines “fun” and “high efficiency”. This enables students to engage in the learning process in a way that they “learn while playing and play while learning”, enjoying the fun of learning English. It breaks away from the traditional teaching framework and the low-efficiency rote memorisation learning model.
2. What is the teacher-student ratio in ABC's summer English classes?
The ABC Summer English Courses are carried out in a small-class teaching mode, with a teacher-student ratio of 1:10. This ensures that all students can receive adequate attention. At the same time, it maintains the interactivity in the classroom to achieve the highest learning effectiveness.
3. Will the content of the summer English courses in Week 1 - 3 and Week 4 - 6 be repeated?
- Except for the “Starters Preparation & Spelling Practice” and the “Primary 1 Preparation”, the content of all other summer English classes in Week 1 – 3 and Week 4 – 6 is different. Parents can enrol their children for 6 consecutive weeks.
- And “ABC Explorers ” is a five-day-a-week children’s English summer class. Each day has a different theme. It is also possible to enrol for a full six-week course.
4. If a child enrols in two 1.5-hour summer English classes consecutively on the same day, with a 15-minute break in between, do parents need to pick up their children?
- During the 15-minute break between the two classes, the ABC education consultants will assist in taking care of the children.
- ABC suggests that parents can enrol their children in two 1.5-hour summer English classes consecutively in one day every three weeks (a total of 3 hours). This allows children to focus on learning at school for the whole morning or afternoon. It is a more cost-effective use of time and can also save transportation time.

12. I had an assessment when I wanted to enrol in the regular class before. Do I need to take another assessment now to enrol in the summer class?
【Enrol in ABC Summer Courses】
- Generally, there is no need for an assessment when enrolling in summer courses. Parents only need to consider the grade their children will enter in September.
- Parents, please note that current ABC students do not need to take an assessment for enrolling in summer courses either. Teachers will recommend suitable summer courses based on the children’s progress and performance. Parents will receive a notification from the APC App at the latest by mid – April.
【Enrol in ABC Regular Courses】
- If you enroll in the regular courses and your child has been assessed but not assigned to a class within 3 months, you can directly contact the ABC centre to arrange for enrolment.
- However, if it has been over three months since the assessment and the child still hasn’t started attending the regular class, another assessment will be required. This is to ensure the child is placed in the most suitable class. (Normally, the validity period for assessment-based class placement is three months.
13. Will the content of the summer courses be the same as that of the iLearn/regular courses? Will there be a repetition of what has been learnt?
- Parents, rest assured that the learning content of all summer courses differs from that of the regular courses in terms of teaching materials and requirements. Hence, there will be no overlapping content.；
- Every summer, ABC aims to enhance children’s abilities in different learning areas or meet their learning needs in a targeted manner through various types of courses. For example：
1) Some children are more introverted and need to improve their expression and public-speaking skills；
2) Some children, after entering primary school, need to strengthen their grammar application skills；
3) Some children need to enhance their phonics skills to aid reading and writing；
4)There are also some children whose academic levels lag behind and need to catch up at full speed. The branch schools will offer the most suitable enrolment combinations.
14. My child's kindergarten classmate has also enrolled in the ABC summer class, but the summer class level recommended for him/her is higher/lower than that recommended for my child？
Let’s share a bit more. In fact, each student has individual circumstances/learning needs. For example：
- Some children wish to enrol in the regular classes immediately. Therefore, after registration, they will be carefully assessed. Meanwhile, the team will recommend the most suitable summer courses based on the corresponding abilities they are expected to develop in the regular classes.
- There are also situations like this: Parents, aware that their child’s English proficiency may be relatively weak and might not be able to handle the regular corresponding level, proactively choose to enrol their child in a course one or two levels lower when registering. This is to help the child catch up and build a solid foundation.
- In addition, there are some children with a relatively high language learning ability who may be suitable for enrolling in courses at a higher level with more demanding requirements.
- Therefore, it is difficult for our school to provide a one-size-fits-all answer based on a single child’s case. We’d like to give a warm reminder that before enrolling in the summer courses, parents are welcome to communicate with our team. Let us first understand your child’s capabilities, and then we’ll recommend suitable summer courses for you.
15. The ABC summer class starts on July 14th, but my child's school doesn't start the summer vacation until July 16th. Is it possible to pay two days less of tuition fees?
- Regarding the registration for the summer courses, parents are required to pay the full – term tuition fees.
- If you need to take leave, parents must inform the staff at the ABC centre of your leave requirements before registration. The relevant make-up class arrangements will be handled specifically for individual parents by the staff at the ABC centre.
16. Going into K2/K3，any differences between《Summer Phonics》and 《 Summer FUN Camp 》?
| 《Summer Phonics》 | 《 Summer FUN Camp 》 |
|
Each lesson 1.5 hours 15 lessons in 3 weeks |
Each lesson 3 hours 15 lessons in 3 weeks |
|
